The only thing that is different from my dad's truck and mine, except for the fact his is an 08', is that when he replaced his filter he used a motorcraft filter and i used napa gold. The last filter change i did i replace with a motorcraft just to see if that would make a difference.....if it doesn't help i really don't know what else the issue could be.

The only time I've had any problems with my biodiesel is when I did some magnesol experiments. I tried filtering it with a sock and a 2 micron filter and all that good junk and I couldn't get the magnesol out. The next week or two I had starting problems and when I pulled my fuel filter I found a bit of goey glycerol. I'm not really sure how that glycerol got there but I suspected it had something to do with the magnesol. Maybe that is your problem too somehow and your dad is just lucky for the moment. If when using your magenol you're not using enough to sufficiently remove all the free glycerol it may be getting stuck in your fuel filter which is what I suspect happend to me that one time... anyways, just a thought.
I'm not really sure of a good test to see if you're magensol is doing it's job completely and/or you're filtering it all out. The bio would still easily pass the 3/27 test even with free glycerol and magensol still in there.
