Wife was driving, pulled out of driveway it puffed black smoke and died. She re-started and it drove fine. Coming home it started blowing thick black smoke and lost all power. Had just enough to get off the road. I came and could barely pull it away from the trailer using 4-low. Tons of smoke and won't run at more than an idle. IP pump is working, has Heath ECM & manual turbo control installed 2 months ago. Going to get a scanner tomorrow and pull codes.

Any suggestions? Thanks.....

Get codes first then we can have a better starting point, maybe

Could be a critter living in the air cleaner system somewhere that has made their home a little too big.

Had a local fellow that found a large RAT stuck in the inner fender snorkel of his 95 Burb

Good luck and let us know
