The guys at the IP overhaul shop say metering valve in IP problem,

That's what I was getting at with my earlier post.........as it sounded like a metering valve issue to me as I could not see how the clutch and the safety switch could cause the truck to die.
You wife had better use the Howes or whatever fuel treatment you like. The process used to remove sulfer from the fuel also removes much of the lubricating properties of the diesel. Your IP and injectors are lubed by the fuel. No lube means shorter life span for those parts. You can sometimes get the IP to limp along a while longer and improve the metering valve symptoms with a doulbe dose of lube in the fuel.
DO NOT TURN UP THE FUEL UNTIL YOU GET A PYROMETER!
Glad you found the issue.
