ok so me and my buddy were passing someone the other day in his truck the all of the sudden no power and it seemed like it was running on 4 or 5 cylinders and it just pores white somke even at idle and it just sounds like crap any advice would be nice

 

Could be the famous slipped timing...What year is your buddys truck?

 

the truck is a 94 dually auto built trans and i think thatit has a fuel plate in it to but not sure witch one

 

How does the truck start?I was also thinking if there is a air leak in the fuel line.I can't remember if that would cause white smoke,but would cause hard starting.

 

it doesn't start to bad but once it does then you cant even see and inch infront of your face it just dumps white somke

 

I don't know Ken....It seems like the timing slipped on the truck...Maybe some of the other members would have some other ideas...

 

Yeah I would go with the slipped timing. Were you at a pretty high rpm when it happened?

 

yeah we were passing someone going about 75 or so

 

any noise from the turbo? I drove one around the block that ran like you say and the turbo was busted.

 

Check timing...
