It is more of a take off and go, and you know there is more there, but the engine just isn't giving it its all.
It's like an electric motor that needs the brushes cleaned.
I've driven mine for over a year with the 15 in it and had no problems unless I was doing hole shots. Never ran outa oil hauling anything.

Give er the monkey.
I'd never try hauling really heavy with my 15 and big injectors.
The jerking was probably poor fuel atomization.
Though, you 2 are the first I've read having that happen.

I agree that finding out the problem with the jerking would be at the top of my list before doing any mods.
What kind of oil are you running? Any oil additives?
Are you consistently adding any fuel additive/injector cleaner to the diesel? Lucas diesel fuel additive is OK, but Power Service is just as readily available and better in my opinion.
Have you changed the fuel filter recently? If so, what did it look like?

dont ever use it.
They tested it, and it caused negative lubricity with the diesel fuel!!!!!!!!!!

136,000 miles is quite low for a 17 year old truck. Although it is low in miles, it has a lot of time on the clock, meaning it is a 17 year old truck. The o-rings are possibly leaking on the injectors, IPR o-rings, weak fuel pump, injectors partially plugged up, several possibilities. Or a combination of things causing the rough running.

Bio is an excellent cleaner and lubricant for the fuel system. However, it does such a good job at cleaning that it can cause fuel filters to plug up prematurely while it's cleaning the fuel tank and lines. Once it's all clean, you should expect to get a normal life out of your fuel filters.
