red diesel is non ULSD so it doesn't burn as clean. you might have carbon built up on the injector tips.

Try unplugging the map sensor and see if that helps any. If it still runs the same and throws a SES light then you know it’s not the map sensor. Then i would run some injector cleaner with the next tank of gas. Some guys are against the injector cleaner and they say it’s worthless but i like thinking it works. Try those two things; they might help in finding the problem.

the red stuff is the same as the green stuff nowadays. granted the green stuff has some "emissions" geared additives. still a possibility though!

i got a question, is there a wooshing noise coming from the exhaust?

and if you can get a scanner on it, sometimes these trucks dont like to throw a check engine light even though there is a problem

It’s your EBPV. Its normal and it should only do it when the ambient temp is below 32 degrees. It’s to help the engine warm up in cold weather.

You might already know that. Not sure if you were being sarcastic
