Sounds like the previous owner tuned it like that, “burnin’ coal!” As my boys call it… when a big diesel truck is spewing thick black smoke.

Maybe somebody deleted the EGR or/and DPF??

After further investigation found out that one of the 8 flat hydrolic lifter had failed and worn threw and preventing the valve from opening and closeting properly looks like a top end rebuild
