Glad to hear that you are up and running again.

The biggest problem I have seen with running a high concentration of Gasoline in the 6.6 comes from lack of lubrication in the pump. However as many have said already, you USUALLY will not do any long term damage. I have only had one case where a guy did damage his pump from this, but he filled up in Georgia, and then drove all the way to Daytona Beach for bike week towing his big bike trailer. The lack of lubrication ruined his pump.

For those who DONT know, the reason many of these trucks die from running on gasoline is that gas is not as "thick" or viscous as diesel. As such, when a injection pump is trying to build up the high pressures that the engines may operate on (LMM being up to 180 MPa), gasoline is too thin for these pumps to attain. Remember that these are high pressure/low volume systems. Since you cant get the gasoline to build up the pressures, you either get a shutdown, or the system will set a low pressure code, and then put your truck in "limp" mode which limits mas pressure control solenoid to approx 65 MPa.
