Death of a turbo diesel

[Ares]

So we have this '99 Isuzu box truck with 112,000miles. Has a 4cyl turbo diesel. Well friday guy in warehouse see's it is running hot again. Which I hear it had done a few days earlier Friday after seeing alot of white smoke blowing out exhaust he stops and gets coolant and refills entire cooling system

Coming back on turnpike from his deliveries it begins to lose power around Harmer before it stops running. He calls and says it won't turn over. We get local shop to run out and tow it back to see what can be fixed. Well shop calls this morning and first thing he says "it's been killed good"

I laugh and ask what is wrong. He says when he got to it all the oil had drained onto the ground running to shoulder and off. Once back at shop he says it smelled like inside of engine was on fire. Driver must have really over heated the thing.

From my take on it is.

1. Head gasket blew and was driven to point that head warped.
2. Added coolant which may have been the complete down hill ride.
3. Fresh coolant now has a wonderful place to go. Straight into cylinder.
4. Said cylinder(or more) is flooded with coolant as piston is on compression stroke.
5. The wonderful world of high compression diesel and being hydrolocked
6. SPLITTING the block open empting it of oil
7. Having to tell President of company of this nice costly issue.
8. Having to find a new truck that not a fn Isuzu
