Tune up?

Well I feel like the truck is running a little rough and I would like to do a tune up. Oil and filters checking things and cleaning them...

Well I was wondering what filters I would want to change? The 2 fuel filters, oil filter, and air filter...clean the egr.

What else should I change/look for?

I feel like this truck has less power then my cummins did

Wow....it's really sick then. The air filter is good for a LOT of miles. It will hold about 3 pounds of dirt before it requires service. You didn't mention anything about the auxillary transmission filter (right front corner of the truck underneath). Is it rough on start up or all the time and have you had it code scanned???

Well I'm unsure of when they were last done that's why I wanted to do them myself.

The truck has no codes. Only has rough running on start up.

That transmission filter something I can go into napa and get?

What's rev x?

You're better off to get your filters at dieselfiltersonline.com The NAPA filters are NOT something you want to use on your truck. PERIOD. Motorcraft/Racor/Navistar filters are the BEST. The airfilter is made by Donaldson, who makes the BEST forced induction filters in the world. You need the blue synthetic media air filter.
