Thanks! a friend pointed me towards this site and I think it is great! I have so many questions about my truck all the time, but the area I live in most dealers have never seen a truck as big as mine! It's great to see the expression on their face when I pull in with it. so most place can't help me at all and I pay 200$ just to walk through the door and walk out with a lot less money and no answers.
I am actually trying to hook up with a dealer that can check the codes for me from when the engine light was on.
We know where we got the tank of fuel and it was a high traffic gas station, but not a huge place that would sell a lot of diesel, and one that we have heard has a reputation for ocasionaly getting a dose of bad fuel, but we were on empty and had no choice but to go there.
either that or another place we went on our way back from a trip, but we can't figure out why it would take so long for the problem to appear if that was the case.
I picked up some Howes 3 in 1 diesel fuel conditioner and i was thinking of tossing that in with the enxt full tank, but someone warned me against some fuel conditioners with these truckas as they can cause problems.
IS there any truth to that?
I was also thinking of trying the bleed screw on the fuel filter to see if I had picked up some water.
eitehr that or putting a new fuel filter on and cutting the old one open to see if it had dirt inside, so that I could rule out those problems.
Now if I could only find someone to check the codes on the engine for me.
I think I am going to try the bleed screw tonight to see if I get any water out of it.
I'll let you know how it pans out.. thanks!
