Just thinking perhaps you could try replacing the fuel filter and fill the filter with some cheap ATF? If the diesel clatter sounds fine but running like crap the filter might be done. That's cheap and needs to be done anyway... Perhaps the filter is full of water? I dunno.

Your water in fuel light actually works? Of the 3 ford diesels I have owned and 6 german diesels, not one had a functioning water in fuel light. That's just me, I guess. The point I was trying to make is without a proper diagnosis, don't automatically go to the most expensive repair. My suggestion to the OP is to front the money and take it to a diesel shop. You could try throwing parts at it, but that could get expensive... fast. with no guarantee of a repair. My experience has also show than 1 or more injectors don't suddenly stop snapping open properly in a one day period... I'd do some more diag and not make a costly guess.

Huh, there's lights for water in fuel and for filter changes? Never seen them work either, one of the trucks it always seems to fall off the filter no matter how I set the connector up.
