Fuel additives will help.... probably already in most fuel but extra is nice too. I use Hayes Diesel Treat.... with good results. Had to change the fuel filter last week as I do it regularly..... filled the filter with HDT and installed it..... had a full tank of fuel I was selected to...... highway speeds 65+ MPH got 17 MPG and the truck has not sounded this good in years.
I believe the advance piston was sticking in the bore and was causing poor fuel mileage 10 MPG at best for the past couple years. The engine runs completely different now so quiet, no tapping noises.... I did increase idle and fast idle speeds about 200RPM for the winter. Truck stop fuel is already laced with additives, but extra added will only enhance that.
