I have a 2004 LLY CC stock. I noticed that it started to idle rough the past couple of days. Truck has 60,000 miles on engine. It knocks at around 35-45 miles per hour, kinda of like a gas engine on low octane gas. Anyone experiencing same kind of problem? No check engine light.

May want to try changing the fuel filter first. When was the last time it was changed?

How often should the fuel filter be changed in these?

Mine started idling ruff and blowing smoke at start up last week. After three days at the dealership and $200.00, it was the fuel filter. I would defiantly check that before you do anything else.

My first diesel…live and learn. :damnit1::banghead::duh:

I change mine every 1500 miles just to be safe, But alot of people just change them when you change the oil

Every 1500 is way over kill. Every 10,000 is normal.
