Simple cause:

Your right foot...

Root cause:

...a self imposed sense of superiority from grabbing the green handle at the fuel station.

You're welcome!

Diesel pedal!

I'm just bustin' your ***** but you have to give us more information than "Somethings wrong with my truck....what is it?"

Please answer the following questions to help diagnose the current issue in your truck:

1. Trucks mileage?
2. Overall usage of your truck?
3. When did you notice the "coal rolling" symptoms?
4. Do you tow or haul? How often?
5. Any recent repair work on the truck?
6. Has any lights on the dash lit up?
7. Have you heard any new noises coming from the engine bay?
8. Any overheating issues?
9. What has the maintenance schedule been on the fuel system?
10. And, what color is the truck? (Tom (RIP) & Ray Magliozzi need to know)
