   that sounds like your turbo is junk. we've got 4 6.0l's, do most the work on them. read alot about them on powerstroke.org too. my guess is your turbo is having problems. take it to your ford dealer, have them check it out

	Sounds like a 6.0l. Good luck fixing that thing yourself. I work at a ford dealer and the diesel guys here bang their heads against the wall diagnosing those things. Unless you can connect it to a scan tool its hard to say, but I know that 6.0l are famous for injectors and hi-press oil leaks. Might need to take it to someone with a scan tool that can read diesel paramaeters and let them have a look. Get the codes checked at the very least. Could throw a code for an injector or a hi pressure oil concern and steer you in the right direction. Also they are terrible for exhaust soot, Ford calls it "coking". It plugs up the EGR valve and the VGT (variable vanes on the turbo). If it runs smooth but just wont rev up maybe remove the EGR valve (its only 2 bolts) and see if its plugged with soot (or possibly coolant, lets hope not). Something to start with at any rate.

	It kind of sounds like lack of air. Long shot, but I have heard of air intake tubes collapsing and causing restictions.

	i have an 04 f-350, it has no power past 2000 rpm. i put on new fuel filters and the air filter is clean. it starts good and it does not miss. sometimes i can push it to the floor and all it does is black smoke and it will barely pull it self. any suggestions ?
