another dead 6.0

so last night I'm bringing my family home from Texas and 9hrs 55 min into a 10 hour drive my truck just dies in the middle of the highway. no previous performance issues... nothing, has sct x3 w/ loony tune, 4'' DP, 5" exhaust, upgraded fuel press spring, 6.4 banjo bolts. I pull off to the side of the road and try and start her back up after almost wrecking twice trying to get over before it stopped seeing as I had no power steering and brakes. restarted it and white smoke galore!!!! engine was knocking really bad and emptied out the degas bottle through the cap everywhere under to hood. Had it towed home since I did not know any good diesel mechanics around here. found one and attempted to let it idle 2 miles to the shop. started fine but smoked everywhere. made it about 100 yards till an intersection where i turned it off to keep from killing people from the mass amount of smoke. tried to restart cranked 2 maybe 3 rotations and gave up. Did notice all the lights turned off like the batteries were just too weak to crank it but it did just fine 5 min ago... codes are p1000, p0272, and p0266. any help would be amazing I don't have much cash since it all goes to the payment because its a Harley edition and I am a big DIY kinda guy and an aircraft mechanic lol...

thanks
will

Damn Harleys. Mine's been "fixed" once due to egr issues, $1,600 later and it's still just parked in the driveway

Youve got a couple things going on. A bad injector and either a bad egr cooler or headgaskets. IN this case maybe both

i can understand the egr cooler going out and I actually have a delete kit sitting on my workbench just was out of town when it came in lol and a new oil cooler and was going to put in ELC coolant this weekend, what perfect timing. what could cause the injector to go at the same time?

ok... after alot of research and lack of self confidence is it possible I could have put gas in it? I was super tired so anything is possible, I called the TA where I got it and waiting on a call back. I had about a 1/4 tank when I filled up and the truck is just off of full so I drove about 30 miles after the fill up...
