One think 99% of people that OWN a Diesel NEVER think about is WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD THE VALVES ADJUSTED??????? Yes you NEED to adjust the valves it's not a car with hyd lifters. Kept telling my one friend that you need to run the valves , you need to run the valves and he kept telling me that you do not need to adjust the valves . Then he had a problem with a head gskt and wanted me to work on his truck . Nope i don't do cars . trucks , water leaks in cars and trucks and i don't do windows . Bad enough i work on my own when i have to and on those days don't even come around . Long story short he found a socalled Cummins GURU that said he could do it and when he got it back he was telling me how different it sounded and it had way more get up and go . Yep he had to adjust the valves when he put it back together . I do mine on my Dodge around 25000 miles or about every four years since i do not put many miles on it and more 6-7000 a year. and a little Lucas with each tank of fuel does not hurt . One more thing i would look at is the filter for alga and if this is the cause of low performance then ya need to start treating for that..

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
