Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Finally got my truck back from the dealer after two and a half weeks. Note to anybody in the Ohio area: don't take your truck to Tri County Dodge in Sharonville. I'm not impressed with Kings Auto Mall Dodge either.
To recap what happened. Driving down the road (20 K on truck) the engine just died as if I had turned off the key. Had complete electrical power, engine would turn over, but it was as if the injectors wouldn't open. So, via the tow truck (such a sad sight) to the dealer.
Tri County Dodge replaced not only the lift pump in the tank, but also the injector pump AND the pressure overflow valve. Talking to the diesel tech his explanation was that the pressure valve failed making both the injection and lift pump work at maximum.
So two and a half weeks, new pumps and pressure relief valves, and a bent to hell thanks to dodge intercooler (they will be replacing it) my truck leaves the lot. Only to be pulled back onto another dealers lot the NEXT day. After sitting in my drive for about 12 hours we noticed a "puddle" underneath the front of the truck that seemed to be diesel fuel.
On to Kings Automall Dodge. They claim to have tightened 22 loose fuel line fitting, leaving me with no problem and an "all seems good at this time" goodbye. 100 miles later I pull of of the highway to find the front end of my truck and trailer coated with oil. Needless to say NOT very happy at that point. So to make a long story just a little bit shorter, the truck limped over to Vigo County Dodge in Terre Haute, IN. In about two hours they had everything fixed up. It turned out that one of the two prior dealers had tightened the timing cover on the front of the injector pump so much it cracked around the 3/8" drive insert causing my leaking oil. They even went so far as to pull another cover from a new truck on their lot so I could get back on the road!!!!
Anyway, watch the dealers if you have a problem, change your own oil, and keep an eye on the overpressure relief valve.
