I haven't been able to read and respond unti this morning because of what I've been doing on my own trying to solve my troubles.

After spending a small fortune ($$OUCH!!) and the past few evenings after work in the garage trying to do as much damage control as I'm capable of on my own, here's the progress that I've made and maintenance that I've done. I replaced both fuel filters, pulled, cleaned and re-installed the EGR valve, and the biggest pain in the neck; dropped, drained and flushed the fuel tank twice using 5 gallons of regular diesel fuel each time, then dumping it.

Luckily today is an off day for me, so I'm hoping to get everything back together and remounted, then add some clean diesel fuel to the tank and fire the truck off to see what happens. I'll be back on later with an update. If this works I'll be happier than a pig in sh!t.
Then all I'll need to worry about is getting rid of about 50 gallons of tainted fuel.

If not, it'll have to go in for service/ repairs.

Again thanks for all the feedback and all the efforts trying to help me figure this thing out.

Well, what was the outcome? This is truly comical.
