Sometimes it is repeated, then other times it may be fine for days.
Otherwise it runs great, has tons of power, starts easy.
Where do I look?
The PMD was replaced not to long ago by the previous owner, and it is on a heat sink now on the motor.
I am new to diesels.

It was the PMD . I replaced that one and the problem never happened again. Another thing the PMD has caused is making cruise control not work. This seems to be an early sign of a failing PMD. It has happened several times, Engine light comes on , codes show EGR problems and Cruise fails to work. Replace the PMD and all is good for months, then it repeats again.,
