You put about 4 gallons of gas in a 2008 diesel truck then topped the tank off with about 25 gallons of diesel al ready drove approx 50 miles with no noticeabl affects at all will this hurt the motor?
You have a nice 2008 truck. In order to make sure no damage will be done, remove all the fuel from the tank and then fill it up with Diesel. That way you can be 100% sure you will do no damage that hasn't already been done. Diesel engines do not like regular fuel and I would not drive this truck one more mile with that 4 gallons in the tank. What take a chance?

Pontiac filled with diesel instead of gasoline used?
If you filled it with more than a couple of gallons, you will need to drain the fuel tank and fill it up with unleaded fuel.

Will It Hurt A Diesel Truck to be topped off with 3 quarts of 10w30 when it calls for 15w40?
In an emergency, no. Change the oil ASAP. If it's an emergency.... only if you have to do so. It can hurt it. Diesel oil (15w40) is different from 10w30. There are different additives, different qualities, and the viscosity is also different.
Will off road diesel hurt 6liter ford diesel?
The Navistar 6.0 is junk to begin with, so I wouldn't be too worried about that. As for off-road fuel, it won't hurt the engine, per se, as the 6.0 was manufactured prior to EPA2010 regs, but it is illegal to use red dye diesel in on-highway applications.
