Default I think I saw a 6.0 drop a turbo today.

I was going down the highway towards the new atv/dirtbike dealer just for a look see and up ahead about 100 yards i see a ford superduty. I kinda thought it was a diesel but wasn't sure. then all of the sudden he starts billowing black smoke and he is slowing down and he pulls over into the far right lane then hits the foruways and gets onto the shoulder. I see him get out as I go by and he def looked ticked. my guess was that his turbo just shat on him. what do u guys think.

I sooooooooo wish I'd had a camera in the truck the other day. I was on the drive home and saw a new Ford SD towing an AULMILITE boat on a trailer...he was on the side of the road w/ smoke billowing out of the hood. The driver was standing there with the hood up scratching his head.
