I'm with you on that. I'm be going to nothing but Loves, Pilot, Exxon, etc. Yes, I opened a claim with them today.

It works be interesting if you could find other reports of contaminated fuel.

No doubt. I hope there are other reports so I know I'm not crazy, but I hope there aren't others because this sucks.

Just to update you guys (if you care LOL): My insurance is covering this 17k dollar complete fuel system replacement minus my deductible. It's looking like Murphy USA had def-contaminated diesel and according to TDLR AND Mt insurance company, this is more common than one thinks. In doing a search of worst places to get diesel/gas, Murphy USA was one of the top places to avoid. Not to shit talk a company, but this just should not happen. I ordered the locking gas caps for added insurance and I hope to have my truck back in a couple of weeks. Oh yeah, Murphy USA has yet to respond to the complaint I filed, so that's not confidence inspiring either. I guess the state can contact them on my behalf.

Wow that sucks, 17k for the fuel system for Def contamination is pretty crazy. I don't think I could ever be convinced that DEF and DPF systems are any greener big picture. They just generate more revenue.

Fuck Murphy USA and the contaminated DEF fuel they are pumping!

Tell your insurance company you'll save them $5k by deleting the emissions system. It'll be a better truck.

Contact Motor Ops and get the tunes and gear you need.

So they got the entire fuel system replaced and fired it up, test driven and ready to go, only to find an EGR system issue. Sounds like it's the EGR valve and they're on backorder with no restock in sight. The hits just keep on coming. Incredibly frustrating. Also doesn't look like there's an aftermarket EGR valve for these trucks yet.

That delete kit and runes is sounding good now......LOL!

Yeah no joke. I wouldn't know the first place to go to for that. Seems like I read a good bit of horror stories with that too, but I'm sure there's a few places that are professional at getting it done right.

I'm still pricing it out and waiting for the latest EPA dust to settle. There's some reputable shops selling tunes and delete kits. Really not hard to do it yourself, mostly bolt ons and simple programming with a laptop or OBD device. It's looking to be about $4k, but I had dreams of doing it for <$3k. The ral benefit is increased mileage and performance, but also much better reliability. But if you live in a commie state it'll be harder to do legally.

Absolutely, I'll let the dust settle too and try to find a one stop shop. I'm in Texas, so we're good to go when it comes to EPA. It's just ridiculous how restrictive and unreliable these systems are, but that's what happens when you have a bunch of Prius drivers telling you what you can and can't do.

Got a message from my dealer earlier saying they found an EGR valve at another dealership and it'll be in on Monday. Hopefully this will be the last repair.

Hopefully your running early next week!

Arizona is a decent place, but we got some commie shit too. Right now emissions testing is required after 5 years. Finally did away with emissions testing on motorcycles......lol.

I am an avid outdoorsman and I've spent 35 years developing energy infrastructure and we comply with mountains of regulations. I love the environment and respect that there is a balance to every parasitic human function, but modern diesel emissions systems are not environmentally friendly.......but I like the side of my camper and boat to be clean from soot.

Welp, no injector issues. ECM or fuel pump perhaps. Injector codes are gone but then I got DPF soot buildup pending codes and it went into reduced acceleration on my way to the dealership. Luckily it got me to the dealership without dying on me. Starting to think the pedal monster and ram intake could be the source. I've maintened this truck meticulously, now it seems like I've got electrical gremlins.

The duramax in my previous 3500 dually had the same soot buildup issue. didn't start until I put the Banks ram intake on it....
