A lot of those codes are related to the typical turbo derate and overheating seen on 870's with someone unplugging the egr system on it, and not re-programming it properly.

Sad part is that the damage and its eventual failure may already have been set in motion, as those codes have hundreds of occurrences. What is eve worse, is that a lot of the horrible delete programs for the 870, they block those codes from coming up in the dash, so I hope like hell that is not what was just done during its questionable re-programming, as any moron with access to the insides of that ecm can simply magically make those codes go away by blocking the ecm's ability of showing them in the dash (most bad deletes they do this), so therefore I have zero faith in your codes suddenly going away, and you should too.

In the mean time...

* What is the boost levels it is getting up to in a hard pull?
* What does the pyro look like?
* Is the oil temp going up in the 235-240+ range on a hard pull?
* how many miles does it go after an oil change before the oil starts turning black?
* have you taken steps to actually fix that truck? or are you just driving it around with all those problems?

-- those are some of the tings you can look for until you can get it looked at properly.

- If you end up in atlanta area, you can stop by and I will look at the program with you, show you exactly what someone has done if no one else can get to it.

It was my father's truck before he had his strokes we got it last year and he ran it about 1 or 2 trips a month the way it has been... now that my cm2250 has dropped a liner I have to use this one so I'm trying to work through all these issues... The tube that runs around the back of the block from the egr cooler to the intake had a huge hole in it above the starter causing the starter to get heat soaked and also causing a huge boost leak... After he tuned it the boost leak was major blowing out of that hole I asked my dad the highest he ever saw the boost he said 20 maybe 22 I put a plug in the intake where that tube goes in last night and that took care of the boost leak I was bobtail and built 38lbs of boost in the big hole... The oil temps before were out of sight 240 or above almost all the time bobtail or loaded and the coolant temp rarely went below 200-205 even bobtail... I haven't ran the truck enough to see what its doing now but the short 50 miles I've driven it bobtail the oil temps and coolant temp haven't even gone over 200 yet... The oil would turn black pretty quick if I recall I know it's black now and I was about to do a full service on it... I have been taking the steps since he got the truck only problem is we couldn't always be at home at the same time... But I need to get it correct before I leave
