so last night I'm bringing my family home from Texas and 9hrs 55 min into a 10 hour drive my truck just dies in the middle of the highway. no previous performance issues... nothing, has sct x3 w/ loony tune, 4'' DP, 5" exhaust, upgraded fuel press spring, 6.4 banjo bolts. I pull off to the side of the road and try and start her back up after almost wrecking twice trying to get over before it stopped seeing as I had no power steering and brakes. restarted it and white smoke galore!!!! engine was knocking really bad and emptied out the degas bottle through the cap everywhere under to hood. Had it towed home since I did not know any good diesel mechanics around here. found one and attempted to let it idle 2 miles to the shop. started fine but smoked everywhere. made it about 100 yards till an intersection where i turned it off to keep from killing people from the mass amount of smoke. tried to restart cranked 2 maybe 3 rotations and gave up. Did notice all the lights turned off like the batteries were just too weak to crank it but it did just fine 5 min ago... codes are p1000, p0272, and p0266. any help would be amazing I don't have much cash since it all goes to the payment because its a Harley edition and I am a big DIY kinda guy and an aircraft mechanic lol...

so i got word from my mechanic today that when he started it the fuel pressure was 100psi and said it threw codes for injectors 1-7... took my stock regulator spring to him to try out... what do uall think?

also he said head gaskets, bolts, egr and oil cooler were all fine

is it at all possible that I may have accidentally put gas in it. It had about 1/4 tank when I filled up and went MAYBE 30 miles...

thanks
will

 

Sounds like an egr cooler to me.

 

either you blew a head gasket, or the EGR cooler ruptured

do you have gauges? what was your EOT and ECT?

 

What did the smoke smell like?
Are you losing coolant?
What spring did you use - the ford upgrade or an aftermarket?

You could have a badly damaged injector.

 

head gaskets, and egr cooler are good, not loosing any more coolant that was busted out of the cap when this all started. it is defently fuel out of the exhaust and no water. The spring was aftermarket GDS spring. and I havent installed my gauges yet. it ran fine for about 6000 miles I only really get on it about 2-3 times a month other than that when just commuting to work its cruise control on 60 but this trip was cruise control on 80-85. The mechanic said that NO fuel was getting back to the tank.

 

just got off the phone with the mechanic. the spring fixed the pressure issue but there is still codes for 1 through 7 injectors being bad. So 7 of 8 injectors when out all at once?
