06 died while driving
I've got an '06 crew cab 4x4 that has been running great until this morning. Started up and ran like any other day but as I was heading to the store it I was stopped at a red light and noticed a possible slight difference in idle but didn't think much about it. As the light change I proceeded and about 1/4 mile up the road truck dies. I coast into a parking lot, place it in park and try to restart it-nothing, almost acts like it's locked up. Check the CTS for codes and nothing shows up, pop the hood and not signs of anything out of the normal. Coolant level is where it always is, nothing but usual condensation from AC is leaking below. After a once over I try to start it again and it turns over and starts but if idling really rough, white smoke is bellowing out the exhaust, and it quickly dies. Check for codes again and still nothing, another once over and still no abnormal signs, try starting again and it once again seems like it's locked up. Call tow truck and have it towed. When it died the EOT & ECT was at 162 if that makes any difference.
Any ideas or starting points to start looking at the root cause of the issue?

Sounds like a dumping injector. that's what I had on my 6.0 a few months back, white smoke is unburnt fuel, and your getting hydrostatic locked so the fuel must be pouring in. remove glowplugs and crank motor over to see what cylinder it is, and replace that injector. Mine is something wierd, electrical or FICM or PCM issues.

Sorry bro, I'm in the same spot as you with half the engine under the cowl they are tight I do go thru the wheel well openings, I'm lucky the 550 has huge wheel openings yours are much tighter. but thats the best way, the drivers side is much easier than the passenger just pull that side and hope its on that side first, if it still is locked than you know it on the passenger side.
