Default Need Help?

hey everyone,

i had a question for you anyone can jump in and tell me if they know anything,
when i start my truck for the first time in a couple of days it seems to lug really bad.

it all started happening after i changed the oil.
i had added some lucas oil stabalizer to but when i did this i checked my dipstick and it said i was way over full.

so i let some out thinking this would do the trick but it didn't.

should i let some more out or what.

thanks

does it sound like a miss? Any smoke? I bet you have a leak somewere and fuel is leaking out or air is leaking in.

i took it to a diesel store and they said it was fine and i need to check the fuel line. turns out thats where the problem is and know i have to buy a new one.
