blue smoke, no power

buddy just called from Dallas and says his truck is blowing blue smoke (I guess blueish/white) and he has NO power... can only get up to 20mph... the truck is an 04 HO (555 6speed)...

am I right in thinking this is an injection pump thing? he is JUST under 100k so basically, head straight to the dealer? or is there something he can do to get this thing back home today (3 hour drive... but not at 20mph )

Sounds like a turbo to me.

I thought if it was the turbo, that it would blow black smoke (unburned fuel)?

Unburned fuel is bluish white, partially burned fuel is black. Have check all his IC boots and connections to make sure he hasn't blown one off. Sounds like he has no boost from the turbo.
