There is a reason Dodge can't sell their pickups to fleets. While Ford and Chevy sold millions of base trucks to fleet buyers (like us) Dodge even with their lower prices couldn't crack the fleet market. Their 3.7 and 4.7 base engines (used through most of the 2000s) was known for being a being horribly unreliable - along with their transmissions. Anyone looking at maintenance costs and reliability took one look at Dodge and passed. Ford and Chevy have had their own issues but Dodge stands apart on their pickup issues. And anything that used that 3.7 engine (like the Jeep Liberty) also suffered horribly in reliability.
Their latest effort to break into the fleet market is their V6 diesel and it has also fallen flat on its face. On top on being horrible in drivability (extremely low on power) the mileage isn't quite what they promised and reliability on their diesel V6 is even worse than the crappy 3.7 was. But then what did they would happen when they took an already marginal Italian diesel, loaded it up with American required emissions and then shoved it in a vehicle that is already heavier than anything it was designed to haul.

And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
