Be prepared to change your fuel filter. Possibly several times. From what I have read, BD has a more solvent-y (cool made up word, eh?) effect than regular diesel. Therefore, all the sludgy buildup over 100K+ miles is going to get cleaned out of all your lines and end up in your filter. But usually on trucks the FF is very accessible.
