Old mans 04, studded, ******d bla bla bla... changed his oil a couple weeks ago (valvoline dyno 15/40) and hes good about running diesel power service regularly... ran fine started fine till
Yesterday coming home from work he was smoking grey pretty bad. But was running fine, i checked it out after i got off and its for sure fuel smoke, idle seemed fine, but did notice a chug/thump out of tail pipe while running.
Took it to my buddies shop this morning, smoking bad the entire way, but running fine and smooth till i was just about to his shop, fuel knocking pretty good and smoking even worse. I shut the truck off at a red light and thats all she wrote, had to tow it the 1/2mi to the shop. Wont crank abd stayed that way all day ( idk if i should feel good it’s holding pressure or be worried) he plugged into it and it had cyl3 contribution code, he didn’t get any further than that though.
Hoping to get lucky and just needs an injector...
But now that ive talked way more than needed.... anyone ever see mechanical failures like this linked to changing the oil??
Or does he just have my luck?
