Engine light: Fuel Rail Code

Engine light: Fuel Rail Code
I purchased a 2010 2500 Turbo back in March. Since then, I've had at least 8 engine codes relating to the fuel rail. I took it back to the dealership and they replaced the fuel rail, or so they said. The code continued. Took it back again, they say that one of the injectors could be bad but aren't sure which one. Gave me a fuel treatment to add to the fuel to clean out the injectors. Seemed to work, I increased my fuel mileage and no code.
It's back. I'm not doing anything out of the norm for what I do. I drive the streets, sometimes I idle (but I kick it up if I'm sitting for more than a traffic light), no towing, get fuel at the same place, you get the idea.
I'm really getting frustrated with this truck. It's supposed to last me a very long time. I needed a very reliable truck since I'm about to go into med school. Now I'm thinking I've gotten a money pit.
Fortunately, all these repairs fall under warranty. So other than a huge inconvenience, it's not costing me anything.
Thoughts and/or ideas?

When I took it in 6 weeks or so ago, they said the fuel treatment was the next step in the plan. I can only assume they talked to tech support. I'll see if I can get the code. I read somewhere that this was a recurring issue with 2010 models and that wiping the ECM and uploading current software stops the problem. I've talked to them about this, and don't know if they think I'm crazy or actually look into it.
