i changed the fuel filters and they had a gas in them like(unleaded) so i drained the tank and put fresh deisel in the tank and it started to run fine after the fuel in the lines went throught. i had the codes ran to day and it had exhaust gas recirculant low& egr position sensor minimum stop proformance and is runing fine now i cleared codes. would have n unleaded fuel in the truck cause those codes to come up. i just got the truck a few weeks a go it is my first deisel.

Pull the EGR valve and have a look at its condition. Pretty sure there is a good procedure for doing this in the folder at the top of the page. Its a simple task that just about anyone can do. If you changed your own fuel filters you can handle this job.

see there are only really 2 things you cant put in a diesel tank. water and gas. they dont like either. not even 92.
running the truck on gas can and will cause injector damage. remember always always use the green handle.

Boy, is this good advice!
Going uphill this weekend in a remote part of Vermont and BANG! . . . the loud bang is followed by a 95% loss of power and 0.0 on the boost guage. Roadside assist flatbedded the truck out. Just got a call from the dealer . . . . CAC tube blew off. That was it. A simple part completely disabled my truck and ruined my weekend. I'll be checking those CAC tube clamps from now on.
