I have the edge cts proformance chip on my truck. It’s was on extreme level 4 for alittle but now it’s on economy level 1. My truck has no loss in power and runs great but will blow black smoke when it’s given more than half throttle. It’ll pour black smoke if I mash it or I am towning something. IS this because of a bad tune? I’ve had bad luck with my edge, as of now I can’t re program my truck without the chip giving me errors. Long story short I don’t recommend it. Could failing injector(s) be causing this or something else? Beside my programmer
05 LLY black smoke - tuning?

There are other threads about it, but you have to unhook the intake piping after the turbo. Find a way to plug it and pressurize it. Then listen for leaks if you can't hear anything you need to spray all the connections with soapy water and look for bubbles.

I have no loss in power, just pours black smoke when i get on the throttle or im pulling something, just an annoyance
Fill out a signature so we know everything thats done to the truck.
Have you tried any of the suggested things?
I would say it's part of the tune.
I had mine reflashed and recently stopped using fuel additive. With the additive, I noticed it seemed to smoke more under heavy throttle situations.
Having it reflashed from the dealer and resetting the adaptive controls insure there was no trace from an old tuner.

I semi got my edge chip working and put it back to stock. still blowing a black cloud when i get into the throttle.
Take a close look at your Y Bridge and make sure it is still together. I blew the inlet pipe out of mine and it would smoke bad on big throttle inputs.
