If it's anything like the gas engines, it's misfiring all the time, you just don't notice it till it gets into O/D. I don't know enough about diesels to even begin troubleshooting though...

Yeah....compression ignition changes everything. I think you're looking more at a fuel delivery problem....bad injector(s), tired injection pump, water in fuel, clogged fuel filter etc

On our '02 the relay for the VP44 gets hot and then gets flakey, but we get a code for lost comm with VP44. It's never caused intermittent "misfires" for us but more like limp mode
