well its been it the shop for two weeks now and the last diesel tech chevy had quit. so i was talking to the shop forman and he said they make 35 an hour so around 7000 a month, so i interviewed for the job today and they said as soon as my background check is done i can have it. i just thought it was funny that im going to have to go work for them just to get my truck fixed. oh well at least i get a discount now

Once shouldn't have done all of that unless it was REALLY bad fuel. If it's been a few tanks since the bio then there is no way it could have caused this.

Do you always get your fuel at the same place? You might want to check with other truck owners in your area and see if they've had similar issues.
