Not that I really have anywhere else to be once I start having issues. :-]
The issues,
was running up hill for about 30 miles, was in 4th, just keeping it from overheating.
Then it seemed like something popped. Couldn't really hear it well, ear plugs and music, but then I lost a lot of power.
Pulled off and checked for anything visual, nothing.
Started up and finished the rest of the climb (few miles) in low range, w/ lots of black smoke, even when I should have been in the turbo zone.
Topped the hill and coasted down, both to let it cool and to let the engine idle. Turned off on a road I knew had a good place to pull off. At that point I had a lot of blue smoke.
Let things cool and pulled off the air filter to turbo pipe. Turbo would spin and didn't seem to have play.
No water on the dipstick,
No oil that I can see in rad.
Started it and had no blue smoke, just the normal from burning waste oil, even when rev'ing it up.
At that point everything seems normal.
Will pull the turbo to intake pipe to check for oil.
Anything else I can do in the field before trying to head out again? I am pulling my trailer (about 3 ton)
I know that most people will have something better to do today than be on the forum.
Not expecting much, and I do have my home w/ me so I'm not desperate.
