 |  1997 Chevy Silverado 2500 Turbo Diesel Just got this truck and the darn "service engine soon" light just came on  . I read the code and it is "Engine Overboost". The truck seems to run great but it does billow quite a lot of black smoke from the tailpipe when really gettin on it. I was wondering if anyone had any idea of what might be wrong, what needs to be fixed, or if this truck might have a chip. Any information is greatly appriciated! |

 | No way to know about a chip without checking it out. Overboost means the waste gate is not functioning properly. I cant think of anything else right off the top of my head though.
