[bruce51d]

what's the condition of the oil? i would also check icp and fuel pressure

^^^My first question too......oil condition?????

[curt03]

its about due for an oil change.. u guys think thats what it could be??

[7.34ever]

Possible....remember your motor oil is firing your injectors. I'd change it first thing and go from there

[curt03]

alright cool. first thing in the morning im changing the oil, oil filter and fuel filter.. ill keep u guys updated

Start with the basics, oil and filters. After that, get the truck scanned, check the oil temp, I am guessing the truck is getting a bad reading when cold and cutting back fuel and oil.

alright.. so i changed my oil, oil filter and fuel filter today and it did the trick.. im amazed what some fresh oil and filters does to a diesel.. runs perfect now! thanks guys

That many miles on it you should have put some REV X in it, 2 bottles in the oil at oil change then one every oil change there after.

It's not the fact that it's a diesel, but the fact that is uses an HEUI system.
