My guess is bad fuel. Water.

ran threw 1 full tank that the dealer filled then I just filled at a friends store that has the best and cleanest fuel in town always take care of there tanks and only drove 20 miles on that tank when she broke

Sounds like wrong fuel type to me. Like maybe gas and not diesel?

Exactly what I was thinking. Did you some how fill up with unleaded fuel instead of diesel??

[powerhoghp]

Or is it possible that the "station" fills their diesel tanks with lower cetane ratings then what the truck wants? (state law varies so much, there is no national standard for cetane ratings, just sulfur)

[08stroker250]

Definitely sounds like gas

FAIL. LOL it wouldn't be the first time a new diesel owner put gas in his new truck.

The biggest problem comes when it's time to pay the bill. This is not covered under warranty, and could cost as much as $8000 to fix.
