How many miles on IP? You can try to run some ATF through it/let it soak in there and advance the timing a tad

Dinger....this truck is not a powerstroke, it doesnt have a engine computer to tell the engine what to do. its all mechanically injected. I would venture a guess at running some diesel kleen in the IP....remove fuel filter, pour diesel(liquid gold) back into tank...fill the filter with diesel kleen...run the engien for a few seconds...shut her down...let her sit overnight....start her the next morning and drive the **** outta it.
