2H turbo ran like a dream yesterday now idles rough then stalls

[Lucero1989]

Hi lads,

Have a sudden onset of sick cruiser on my hands. I have an HJ75 with turbo 2H - never misses a beat and runs flawlessly until i started her this morning. Idled up ok for 30 seconds then developed what seems like a stutter. Turned it off then know kicked it over again and she is idling terribly even with a bit of throttle - tried to drive her ten meters but it was rough as guts and kept stalling. Has me stumped! How can such a drastic change happen so quickly after running like a dream?

Any feedback/suggestions would be a lifesaver!

Thanks,
J

Update - was told by my workmate that the truck was blowing a fair bit of black smoke yesterday on my way home.

following, can't help. Change fuel filter, if possible open it up and see what it looks like.

Sounds like a gut full off bad fuel try draining the water separator and then change your fuel filter to see how it runs. It's not uncommon to pick up bad fuel with water so I would also drain 1/2 a gallon from the fuel tank to check if there's any water
