Sounds like a cam sensor crapping out on you.

When did you last change your oil? if it is close or past due, it could be braking down when it gets hot and getting air in the high pressure oil system, which is used to operate the injectors, though you would probably also notice a loss in power at the same time. if not, camshaft position sensor is most likely the cause.

Could be that you are getting air into the fuel. A diesel will not run properly if air is introduced into the fuel. Also, you may check the injector pump. Sounds like a warranty problem on your 2000.
