Thinking about this after I posted it thought it could have something to do with the higher boost keeping the gunk from sticking. Mind you at cruise a diesel only sits around 2-5PSI.
I guess that would make sense. I didn't really know about the truck aspect of it, but was thinking about it from the point of view of smaller diesels (ie. Golf TDI).

Never owned a diesel so I don't really have a huge abundance of knowledge with them.
