RUNAWAY! RUNAWAY! (UPDATE!!! stoOpId truck!!!)
not RUN AWAY!
OK... here's the story.
Over the summer a friend blow'd a head gasket on a '95 K3500 4WD stick... so I spent a couple Sundays and a couple more days extracting a broken headbolt yadda yadda yadda...
anyway... fast forward to a week ago.. calls me up, says "I hear a clattering noise and it's running like crap"
and when I get there, it's also dumping loads of black smoke... OK.. rough run + black smoke = fuel injector. Sounds good? OK.
I'm driving it home tonight to my place to do the injector surgery... all of a sudden, this thing is blowing IMMENSE CLOUDS of grey smoke and it's straining HARD against the turbocharger and DOES NOT want to slow down when I release the throttle...
luckily, it's a stick, and the clutch is stronger than the brakes and I get it DOA alongside the road in a cloud of smoke and a hearty HI-HO SILVER...
any guesses?
failed injector caused it?
FI pump is trash (does have known issues)?
pump timing all outta cattywampus?
I drive a SuperDuty, so this is a tad bit foreign...
