    Sounds like EGR valve could be stuck open.

    Pull the piping and inspecting the turbos is the only real way to check them and pull those pipes is a pain.
    If you have heavy black smoke, then the DPF has failed. If the engine is deleted, then I really can't help further, but at this point you need to run an air management test with Navistar Engine Diagnostics and go from there.

    If you had tail pipe smoke, you still have a failed DPF.
