Black Smoke, Surging, Power Loss
I removed and cleaned the EGR valve. It may have still been sticking after that but it worked fine after the cleaning. It's a moot point now as the tranny croaked on me about 600 miles out from home. I traded on a F150 4WD Off Road EcoBoost Supercrew.- SmokyMountain

coolant leak
check your de-gas tank (recovery tank) it may be dry rotted and have spider cracks in the plastic that will only leak when it is hot. Replaced mine for $50.- SmokyMountain
