    this is a possibility most of the time this happens is actually the turbo waste gate messing around. you will have a code if the egr is sticking or stuck open for egr flow being to high coupled with a really lazy truck regen temps will never make up to actuall spec and fuel economy down the drain.

    If this were a DD 15/13 it would be the fuel quantity valve.
