when it gets down to 1/2 a tank it starts running rough, smoking, and has no power. when it has more than 1/2 a tank of fuel it runs fine.

That's weird. Could be a hole in the pickup tube. When the fuel drops below 1/2 it starts sucking air.

Why does a Honda represent European engineering?
Stupid clip isn't worth a dime.
When imports start selling trucks that will hold more than 3 geraniums and 1 40lb bag of top soil, maybe we will talk.
Ok, sorry for the rant.
The only thing that would cause it to run rough based on the fuel level is a hole in the pickup. I would start with air and fuel filters.
Is the check engine light on?

drain your tank and have it cleaned,sound like you or a previous owner ( if any ) has gotten crud into the fuel tank,when it gets to this level it start sucking the junk into the fuel system.while at it, check the condition of your filter to make sure no other crud is in the system. btw all the foreign diesels are junk, and you tube is about as accurate as weekly world news.for those who dont know the chev duramax is made by isuzu,and isuzu has the worst reliability in the commercial market

Has this problem always been present? When did you last change you fuel filters? have you had your fuel system checked for pressure and volume? Start small
