The car runs great until a sensor sends it into limp mode after maybe 30 minutes of driving.

A good shop will flush the lines and the tank. Replace/rebuild the injectors. When injectors fail, they burn a hole in the piston(how many psi are the common rail injectors? 30,000 psi?). New fuel pumps.
No one wants to touch that headache tbh. Especially if frugality is in the discussion. Don’t clean the system enough and you’ll grenade another fuel system.
Find a wrecked truck.
