is the truck under load when it happens? if so i'd start by changing the fuel filter

Get your tenner paid and check out the downloads section. There's a quick easy way of reading your fault codes with nothing more than a paper clip. Also there are instructions regarding the mini filter and banjo bolt.

By chance someone has just fixed a similar issue to yours and fixed it today, sorry to bang on about it but the thread is in the members area tho.
