Hey guys im totally new on here and just need some help. I bought an 06' Chevy 2500 HD crew cab back around Christmas this past year. Been driving it ever since without a problem. I was headed in from work the other day and it start revving itself up and down on its own and just took off by itself. N i mean screaming away. I finally managed getting the truck stopped in park and turned the key off but the truck just kept screaming with the key off. I finally popped the hood tried unhooking wverything but it was still just screaming away, i had no clue, but then i jerked the air tube off the intake and grabbed a board out the bed and used it to cut the trucks air flow off. Even tho it was to late and now i have a blown engine, as a result, what could have made it so this? I have been told by guys that work on heavy equipment that the turbo strted using the the trucks oil amd caused extreme damage. I mean why? It never made a strange noise or appeared like nothing was wrong til it was too late. No warranty and now stuck looking for an engine, n praying that the full coverage will at least paying for the wiring amd such that is destroyed. Just looking for a lil advice and some answers. Anyone ever seen this happen?
