I have an emergency situation here. I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Megacab w/ 5.9l Cummins. I am using the Predator with a power puck. Also using a Quadzilla turbo fooler. Last week, i took my truck in to a local service shop to get the oil changed and tires rotated. When i picked my truck up and was driving off, i noticed something strange with the way my truck sounded. There was a strange knocking sound, almost like valves knocking, coming from my truck. Also I noticed the oil pressure was higher then normal. My dodge should take 3 gallons of oil. I had brought my own oil, Royal Purple, to the shop for them to use. I brought a case of 4 1 gallon jugs. I noticed they had used most of the fourth jug. I started to wonder if they had put too much oil in my truck.
Well, a week went by, and today when i was going down the road, the knocking sound went reallly loud, and white smoked poured from the back of my truck, and some smoke from under the hood. The truck shut off, and i drifted to the side.
Now, the truck sounded normal before i took it to the shop. I was running the predator in the towing stack tune, with my power puck set to the stock setting. I'm going to the shop tomorrow to talk to these guys, but i need some info first.
What exactly happended to my truck? Would having too much oil have caused this? Could the predator have caused this problem? Will the shop guys/or dodge center be able to tell i was using a tuner? I removed the puck and set the tune back to stock before the tow truck came to take it back to the shop.
Please, any help right now would be greatly appreciated.

RE: HELP!!
As long as you have been using the latest revision, you are fine.
The Predator would not have caused an oil pressure issue.
Thanks
