Might have killed my truck

Gregg · 10-27-2009, 09:58 PM

I was on my way back to NY from TN, (went to ride the dragons tail on my motorcycle with a few friends), I stopped in MD to get fuel at ex 8. proceeded to get back on I-81N and got a little ways then got up to 70-75ish and the truck felt like it lost power for a second, like it came out of gear, then we noticed that the truck was puking white smoke (and when I say Puked, I mean smokescreen that basically blocked both lanes.) from the exhaust. then we heard a loud pop and I put the truck in neutral, shut it off and coasted to the side of the highway.

After looking around under the hood and under the truck I noticed it was leaking oil from the exhaust or at least what looked like oil. I got it towed off the highway and then attempted to start it for a second and it poured white smoke and was clanking like it was -5 out. I was towing a dual axle motorcycle trailer with 4 bikes totaling maybe 5k trailer included. all the gauges were in spec.

Anyone got any ideas????
so far I got possible hole in piston, nozzle broke off fuel injector, broke valve;spring....

The truck is going to the stealership this weekend as it only has 50k on it, but is sitting at the house till then

I have no idea, not tuned yet so no gauges... its stock with intake and exhaust and we weren't beating on it..

Have you done the key turn trick to check for codes yet?

no check engine light is on... I had to turn the key to run to put it in neutral to put it up on the trailer to get it home.. even towed it with a duramax with 160k on her it was embarassing

Blew the turbo probably. That is what it looks like.
