When did you last change both fuel filters? If it's been more than 10K you should change them. Also, pull the EGR and see if it's crudded up.

Next to the intake elbow and the alternator.

Here's the plan: FDDTS - 6.0L EGR Valve Cleaning

I had similar symptoms. I pulled my EGR and cleaned it. It was completely clogged up with black soot. This reduced the problem for me but did not make it go away. I then replaced both fuel filters and the problem is gone. I had about 25K on the old fuel filters and I could see some discoloration and it appeared to be dirty stuff covering a lot of the surface areas.

I did the turbo up-pipe with EGR blocker plate from Elite Diesel. Never cleaned EGR again. Be sure to leave the EGR plugged in, ECM may freak out.

Exaust Gas Recirculater

Basically it puts the forced air that has allready been through the combustion cycle back into the motor

Also to the op you need to find a new dealership

Yea it is pretty much impossible to pull out with your hands. Turn it so you can get some wire through the holes then loop them around a pipe and just pull up on the pipe it'll pop right out.
