No just happened today . Blows a pile of smoke when you step on it, way more than normal. Makes a funny squeek sound on passenger side when it loses power. Seems nornmal when at less than a third throttle. Then accelerates strong for a second or two then craps out.

Running rich. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about diesels to even point you in any direction.
