I know plenty of guys driving fire rig F550s with Powerstrokes around here. They drive at 15 mph on rough (I mean ROUGH) roads mopping up fires and such. They are not having the problems you describe. I suspect you guys are leaving it idling way too much. I also question the quality/type of fuel being used. You aren't doing something silly like adding snake oil additives to the fuel are you?
I can tell you that it does not idile more than any other truck and some times idiling is what is required. If were setting on the side of the interstate I'm not shuting off the truck along with its waring lights.
And no snake oil just what ever comes out of the diesel pumps at the local fuel stop.
