Ok so I'm having several issues with my 6.0. A little background, It's a stock motor other than radiator filter and a k&n intake. I bought the truck about half a year ago and it's my first 6.0. (I knew somewhat of what was to come With reliability, but love fords!)
I haven't had any issues with it until I was moving and towing a trailer 1000 miles.
My check engine turned on, and it's throwing a P0401 and P0404 code. The issues I'm having is when I'm going up hill at highway speeds, the engine/turbo seems to choke out and the truck loses all acceleration and power. I have to let off the gas pedal and try again. Another one is sometimes when I start off a stop, it chugs and seems like it's about to die. With no acceleration. It also smokes white smoke out of the exhaust on acceleration, and a lot of it. Have to keep filling coolant. Any ideas where to begin diagnosing and replacing? I know it has something to do with EGR, but that's about it. Any help is greatly appreciated!
