Entire '06 Fuel System Ruined?

I have a 06 2500 6 speed 4x4 w/11,000 miles that started idling ruff last week, blowing smoke this week, now is at the dealership. I am told that there is water and bacteria in the fuel system. At first they flushed the whole system and pulled the tank, $450.00. When that didn't fix the problem, they said (without exaggeration) the entire fuel system was shot, from injectors, to the rail, to the pump. I am now looking a bill of around $5,000 to 6,500. Dodge will not cover it.
I have talked to trusted friends that are service writers in both Corvalis and Portland Oregon. They have told me that this is a known problem. The Cummings fuel system attracts water over short periods of time, contaminatiing the fuel. This, in conjuction with the smallest injector "holes" ever put in the cummins engine, combines to raise hell with the fuel system. The fuel filter does nothing to help. This is apparently common, '06 owners beware!
What I am looking for is: 1. If anyone can tell me if my info is correct.
2. If you have had this problem and it was covered by dodge, how did you do it? 3. I need phone numbers and e mail addresses of anyone at dodge, cummins, or anyone else that can help. I am going to be a pain in the *** for alot of people. my e mail is JUSTINCC777@AOL, and I will be checking your posts here a TDR. Thanks!
