    well if you are giving it the gas then you have BIG problems. Diesels much prefer diesel fuel over gas

    seriously though
    if it's dark black smoke your turbo may be junk and you better get it fixed before it comes apart and blows a million little pieces of itself into your motor

    That was my turbo on Saturday. :biggrin_2552:

    No advance warning (i.e., smoke) though. Going down a hill with the Jake on and all of a sudden it got real quiet.

    ya, just like that!! blowing smoke is what happens when the seals blow out. You had more of a sudden catostrophic failure... lol

    Maybe having a nickle in your turbo was part of the problem?:biggrin_25525:
