Default HELP!!!

ok, yesterday my drain water fuel separater light came on. i drain it once a month. i pulled over and drained it again. light keeps coming on. today i drove about 30 miles and my truck (08 F250 6.4 DPF Deleted) started missing very badly and was blowing a ton of white smoke. My Edge Insight stated that cylinders 1, 5, & 6 were mis-firing and that there was water in the fuel. got back to my company's shop (we have 2 certified diesel mechanics there full time) and let the mechanic look at it. he told me it sounds like the EGR system is letting water into my fuel system somehow and that we have a couple of new transport trucks in the shop now with that problem. we checked the coolant in my truck and it was completely gone. my truck is now being pulled by wrecker to the dealership. any thoughts?

You're taking your truck to the dealer with the DPF/DELETE Aren't you scared to let the dealers see you modded your truck & having your warranty V O I D

I told the owner that the mods have nothing to do with my problems and that if its not warranted I will not buy my trucks from him in the future. I am seriously thinking about swapping over to gas burners. All new diesels are crap. IMO. The government is ruining our trucks. I miss my third diesel.....my '02.

Yes. I'm running an Edge race on this truck with a 4" straight pipe. Also running a H&S on my 09 F550 with 5" system.
