SILVER Star
3b with axt manifold and volvo garrett turbo.
began loosing power at highway cruise and quickly (in a mile or 2) became undriveable. (I wasn't driving, so that's about as much info as I have for when it started having problems)
It will idle, although rough. Maybe only on 3 cyl.
Mashing the pedal in neutral, the engine will rev up to about 1800 or 2000 rpm then die as if fuel was cut.
If you let off the pedal, it will return to a rough idle and not die.
I can barely move it around the yard, no power at all.
All temps and pressures are normal. All fluid levels normal.
I bought this truck with the 3b installed, and I know little about diesels in genera,l or the 3b in particular, but I am handy with a wrench.
Where should I begin my investigations?
