Currently just got the injectors tested on this truck due to a problem of the truck blowing black smoke when shifting gears. all 6 Injectors are good. Injector guy says this is the 4th time hes heard of this problem and mechanic says he doesnt know what it can be. Truck gets good fuel milage and Truck isnt low on power but still on the original turbo which has probably over 3million kms. So we are going to replace the turbo even though that wont change the smoke problem. Got any ideas what the smoke problem can be ? and what turbo would you guys reccommend? Also its a 550 6nz currently at 475 on mild auto part runs. Need a decision by tomorrow. THANKS
Black smoke thru gears and Which turbo to run on 6nz?

What's wrong with Rollin a little coal especially if your milage is good. Many people spend lots of money to make a truck do that.

Codes? Been on a computer to check for codes if you don't know how to pull them up? First place to look.
Peterbiltt and SAR Thank this. -
no codes no lights. Basically, everything checks out good, haven't tested with a different ecm because we dont have one on hand right now. I mean nothings wrong with rolling coal but its a fld with one stack at the back and it only used to get the trailer corner super black now it even gets the truck black

Currently trying to figure out what already built turbo i can buy that is better than the stock one, dont want to build one buying the compressor, exhaust and cartridge separate. Main concern is fuel economy and not thinking of boosting the truck over 500 hp since thats not needed.

I would go with the Borg Warner Turbos. I’m running a stage one. I putting down 600+ with 58’s injectors. Seems you need more wind (turbo). Use the search box above and write Borg Warner turbo or stage one, etc. You will find what you need. Seems also you need someone to drop in a custom program in your ECM. Pre-low program. I’m getting 7.0 mpg on mine. I’m running a 550 Brakesaver file with 58’s and the stage one Borg Warner turbo. Goodluck
SAR, Peterbiltt and kranky1 Thank this. -

I would run the original trim codes that are on the injectors. They are there for a reason
