The day I got my current truck I put in some home brew bio diesel and within 3 miles my truck was dead. My truck was doing this exact same thing. It was the fuel filter. Started blowing white smoke, loosing power then finally died. It would start and idle but that was all it would do.

Mine started one then idle for second then died. Won't start again. I did run one quart of mix oil in and just polished that tank off and filled with LSD

No codes either

I bet its the filter had some problems like that with a freightliner. Did you just fill up with fuel?

if you just got fuel and started having problems I'll bet it was mostly water with some diesel mixed in and stopped up your filter. I hope for your sake anyway. Go and throw the filter through the gas station window if it is

Wife put in 10$ of diesel at BP I drove to work on way home I filled with LSD then picked up car trailer and drove 170 mi. Pick up car and drive like 20 mi. Stop and eat. Then start drive one mile now stuck here

You sure the wife didn't mix in a few gallons of gas by mistake when she fueled up. This would also do this same thing.

Not from a key cycle. If you bump the starter (without starting) it should run for 20 sec or so.

You need a fuel pressure guage.

If you dont invest in one, your $11000 investment with substantially increase.
