Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Truck in signature.
This "sounds like a miss" never happened prior, just started over the last 4 - 5 months or so...
A bit of info: Old style Edge = 5 settings w/5 sub settings in each, Mach 5 (200hp) sticks, 64/14 QD turbo, S&B Air filter/box, 4" down-pipe through 4" Magnaflow system w/straight-thru muffler, DTT auto, 3:55 rears, 285/75/16 Michellins, SO VP from Thoroghbred Diesel 3/09. Around 2010 sometime I replaced the stock crank dampner with a Fluidampr. No head studs, but no visible leaks either?
Here's what's happening: Doesn't matter what setting the box is on, whether from a stand still or going down the highway - go pedal down and away we go... . As the power is aproaching peak there's a ba, ba, ba kind of stumbel but she's still pulling?
I don't think the waste gate is openeing, (set to deliver 40-45#) or the rev-limiter is coming on? Sorry but I forget what the RPMs are when this happens - but I know for sure this never happened before?
Could the IAT be dirty? The sticks are going on 6 years old and it seems to produce a bit of a haze when at a light that clears up when I get rolling. Could it be time to "freshen-up" the sticks? I have silicon boots on all the air charge connections and if I'm at low boost and floor it the smoke clears up once she "kicks-in" and takes off.
It's not a real deterrant, but more of an anoyance and since it never did this before I'm wonding what's up? I don't "romp" on it as much as I used to, but I'm not known for "putt, putting around" either. I don't think there's anything going on with piston tops as I don't let it linger long once the EGTs hit over 12-1300*
I'm just a bit concerned as I'm just at 200,100 +/- miles, I take great care of my truck's mechanicals (change the oil every 3-4k miles, change fuel filter ever other oil change, use PowerServe or DieselMate additives "every" fuel-up, clean and re-oil air filter, and etc. ) and I plan on keeping it "Forever", so I don't want to hurt anything. Any ideas are appreciated.
