Fargo won't pull
I have an '03 2500 4x4 auto. When it's at 2300-2500rpm, under load, turbo seems to dump pressure, & the truck just dies. There is a large puff of white smoke, & it won't do nothing until I back out of it, then it rattles like a bastard, coughs out black smoke, sometimes backfires, then runs fine until it hits 2300ish revs again. Its bringing up code 0521 ( oil sensor rationality, whatever that is.) Any insight to this would be great.

Hounddog is correct, and I might add that because it happens at the higher RPM, you may want to look for a restriction, pinched fuel Line, bad/old filter as well.

I take PayPal. I'd drain a few ounces each fillup for a few tanks and see what you get.I drain a few ounces on mine almost every tank.No one EVER says their water in fuel light came on.Never.

There wasn't any water in the filter bowl when I pulled the filter. But there was what looked like fine sand & metal filings in it. I cleaned it all up, but I think I'll check it again next tank. The old lady nearly ran it out of fuel a couple of weeks ago, thats probably where the sediment came from. The filings concern me though. Your check is in the mail, Houndog.
