Problem with truck

So this morning I cruise over to my dads, hook up the snowmobile trailer while my truck is idling then it starts idling all rough and sounds like it'll die with the check engine light, then goes back to normal for a min, then back to rough.. so I shut her down, put the smarty to stock and still does it.. checked my codes (on the edge) and it says bank 2 (cylinders 4-6) shorted.. hmm. anyone know whats up?

06 and 07 wire harness to the injector can rub causing a short to the injector bank buddies o7 5.9 did it to him. if you take the valvel cover off the wire harness has its own gasket set up where the wire feed thru check them for rub spots or if its under warranty take it to them

So is it safe to drive? At least home or to the dealer? I doubt they'll warranty it cause of the edge but ill see unless it might be something else.

I had a shorted #5 wire from the factory on my 6.7. They replaced the gasket (and the harness that way) and it was fine. It did however take them 4 trips and me getting stranded twice for them to figure it out.
