sounds like like the truck is getting to much air or not enough fuel, what is the fuel psi at? also smell spark plugs are an event. do they smell like gas?

5.5 on a TBI is way to low usually thats the fuel pump. but the black smoke is consistent with running rich(to much gas). did you check PSI when the vehicle was on or off, if off did the PSI lower as soon as it was primed. if yes you have a leak usually that is the regulator or injectors on TBI this may explain the black smoke
