Don't do it unless you want you truck to run like crap... Besides a dealer could refuse to file a warranty claim WHEN they find out that you are running un-approved fuel.

When you say "high sulfur fuel" I guess you mean Low Sulfur Diesel as opposed to Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel. The old high sulfur diesel (up to 3,000 ppm) was outlawed a couple years ago if I remember correctly.

These days even if the pump is labeled LSD the sulfur content in the fuel is probably a lot closer to 15 ppm than the 500 ppm that is allowed, because like Drew says the refineries are mostly producing ULSD now. There is no minimum sulfur content in diesel fuel, only a maximum allowable.

There are plenty of places still selling LSD. Check out the link, this is just Flying J and there are plenty of places to get LSD.

ULSD is hard to find in this part of TN!!!
