I'll tell them to give that a try.

An Oil Analysis would also tell a great deal ;-). Got to do it before
the oil gets changed though.

That was one of the things that I was wondering. I told him to take
the strainer in the bottom of the tank loose and drain some fuel into
a clean pan and see if there is any water in there. Haven't heard back
from him yet.

Bad fuel?
How long before this happened did he last fill up?

A friend has an 82 300D which suddenly lost power while going down
the road at 55-60. Blew white smoke and died. Supposedly no odd
noises. Won't start lots of white smoke coming out the tailpipe that
smells like unburned diesel. He did a compression check and says
it's OK. I forgot to ask what exactly it is. He has replaced all the
fuel filters and bled the injectors. Get fuel with no bubbles when
the lines are opened while trying to start. Says the fuse on the
glow plugs is good.
What gets me is the sudden loss of power running down the road.
Only thing I can think of is the timing chain but I would think that
that would mess up the valves and effect the compression. Can the
injection pump jump timing by itself without the valves timing jumping?
Any clues?
