Black Smoke, No Power
 

04 duramax: Took it to the dealership, with what I beleived to be injector problems, did a diagnostic ($100.00) replaced the fuel filter and water seperater. Total bill $260.00. 2 weeks later had the same problem, took it back to dealer. Another diagnostic confirmed bad injectors. :humm: They replaced the injectors and now I have no power and black smoke looks like Mt. Saint Helens. Fuel mileage is lacking a little.
Need some info before I go back to the dealer:bat:

sounds to me like the turbo is shot or not properly working

does the engine have a miss to it?? possibly another bad inj.

I suppose that is possible. Not what I wanted to hear. But I the more I know now the better.
Is it possible that the injectors aren't set right? This trouble began the day they were replaced.

The engine lopes a bit at idle.

I was going south over the mountains into Grants Pass Or. I could just get about 50 MPH without causing a wreck behind me.

well its hard to say without seeing or hearing the truck.

I am takin it to another doctor tuesday for a second opinion. Every time I go to the dealership I feel like I need a hug afterwards, and I'm a little sore in the loins.

lol i know the feeling

Thanks for the input everyone

Can you tell how much boost you are making? I would check IC, IC lines, and Turbo for sure. If its all black smoke, its just more fuel than air..

Well.... nobody suggested a plugged up air filter sooo... I throw:w2: that idea out there too.
