The weird thing is that if it's a filter problem, you'd think that drivers of new trucks, that were still under warranty and were getting regular service, wouldn't have problems. I've informally tracked the mileage on these stories and some of them are 20,000 miles apart. Maybe that just means that once in a while a filter fails, and most of them don't- so even though a 20,000 mile user was fine through 4 filter changes the 5th one gave out and caused the problem. The other issue is that sometimes the problem recurs at very short intervals- so if it's a filter issue, there could be an explanation along the lines of 'it was a whole lot of bad filters that their dealer stocked' or something like that. It still doesn't quite make sense to me.
I guess I'll have to go track down one or two people who've actually had this problem in person and try to get more info.
Do these trucks have lined tanks?
