Doesn't surprise me at all. Blown EGR cooler causes Unison ring rust. Yours got stuck in a low-boost condition, This won't usually show a code, but if you hooked up a reader, you'd almost certainly see boost is not anywhere near spec. I had one 6.0 through the shop that was only making 15 psi boost under WOT.
OK I need some help here...what exactly is a unison ring and what happens when it rusts? If the motor isn't making boost to spec why isn't there some kind of "boost sensor" to light the CEL?
The more I read about the new generation of diesels with smog controls, the more I think they are being built from plans that Rupe Goldberg himself drew up....
