I have a 1997 Peterbilt 379X with a problem.?

I was hauling a 95 thousand pound trash compactor to Vegas and all of a sudden thick dark brown smoke started belting out of the stacks and it stalled. Now it starts, the smoke comes out and 5 seconds later it stalls again.|||i need more info....trucks are my gig. if its dark, maybe black smoke....check your air system, maybe a clogged air filter or the turbo went on permanent vacation. also check the piping in the charge air system, the charge air cooler and the fan hub operation ( did it ever overheat?) check for restriction also, like i said a clogged air filter or collapsed line..basically check for the engine to be choking itself out. if its white smoke, check the fuel system, broken injector oring, possible failed injector.. depending on the engine, i would first scan the ECM for codes. just because the check engine lights isnt on doesnt mean a code isnt logged. if you need more, email me at dieselskidz8@yahoo.com|||check the fuel filters?|||It sounds like you are dumping WAY too much diesel into the engine. You may have lost an injector nozzle.
