I started too, but honestly took a minute to understand "Truck wont start black smoke any ideas" and figured you probably didn't mean that you wanted to get your truck to start blowing black smoke. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Then tried to read that loooong sentence and wasn't sure I was getting what you were trying to say and I'm sure like others, didn't want to guess, so I moved on. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Through it all, they'll probably find an EGR system and/or turbo issue. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif
