Check the air intake hose for splits / cracks, between the air flow meter and turbo charger.

I'm almost certain this will be the fuel filter water trap warning.I suggest you fix it immediately - usually a very easy job to drain it, but it may be a good idea to change the filter anyway . If some of the water gets sucked through to the pump and injectors, you could be in for a serious repair bill.

To drain filter - free - you can do it yourself in 5 mins. It's probably about $35 for a new filter, and you can do it yourself (change the filter) in 10 mins. There's probably a drain bung in the fuel tank.As water has got in to the filter, there will be some (and perhaps a lot) in the tank - so probably a good idea to drain any water/grunge from the bottom of the fuel tank with the truck parked on level ground.Again, free if you do it yourself - I'm just guessing that a mechanic might charge an hour or so labour to do the lot for you, so with the new filter, perhaps well under $150.If the fuel tank had heaps of grungy water in it, then the mechanic might suggest cleaning the tank out thoroughly, I don't know how long this might take, as it's going to depend on how easy it is to access the tank. The cost of not doing any of the above, perhaps $2000 or so, depending on how munted the pump / injector system are - after water gets sucked through.
