    I may have lucked out. I treated my fuel with injector cleaner in ILand on the way down here in TX today the code went away. Keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe I had an injector or two that were just dirty.

    Diesel Power, they have several but the one I used said injector cleaner on the bottle. I question the claims these kind of products make but one thing they actually do is add detergents to the fuel, anti microbials, and make the fuel burn hotter which burns carbon off the injector.

    I've used injector cleaner on my diesel VW when I bought it. It smoked really bad and had no power. I bought one that you had to disconnect the fuel lines and run it straight off this cleaner and now, 3 years later, still no smoke and power is what I expect for that kind of car. I think the stuff works, just some claims other than injector cleaning I call BS on.

    Where do you buy most of your fuel for the truck from?

    Ok, I thought maybe you were going to say Loves. They seem to really overdue the bio stuff and their fuel doesn't look to good to me.

    I have noticed the same thing Oscar, at times it looks like river water. Maybe it's the extra Bio.

    9440 miles for the month and 19,880 in revenue. I lost a lot of days due to Shop time with this truck and the holiday didn't help either. I can't wait to get out of this thing. I have a new truck coming and it will ship on the 4th. I should have it, at most, 10-14 days after that. The dealer is putting the APU and deer getter on. I'll have to keep you in suspense as to what it is. One thing for sure is that it is not a Paccar product. Peterbilt has done nothing but cost me money and they can't fix their own brand when something is wrong. The day can't come soon enough.
