    Other emissions/fuel system problem

    "I begin receiving engine error codes. I pulled the codes and they were related to the fuel system. I took it to the dealership where they pulled the fuel filter to find metal in the fuel filter. They had mentioned having known issues with the fuel rail system in this model year truck. Luckily it was still under warranty and was replaced at no cost to me. The entire fuel system had to be replaced due to the metal shavings."
