your problem sounds like fuel filters to me, when is the last time you changed your fuel filters?

yes I hate that black box, I try not to think about it, my 94 Chevy 1 ton had the identical problem. I spent $283 on the black box, but it was not the black box, my 1 ton had two fuel tanks and the valve that switches the tanks was causing me The identical problem, as the black box. I have lots of these diesels. My favorite ones are the nonelectronic.
