    Likely, it's general maintenance related. Be sure to change both fuel filters every 15,000 miles and the air filter every 5,000 miles. I really recommend that you only use full-synthetic HDDO:

    Txgreasemonkey is right but if that does not fix it I would suggest checking all the filter gaskets and make sure lines to injectors and injection pump are tight they can suck air through a loose fitting and beleave it or not it won't leak fuel,it's weird. A lot of diesels are known for the fitting to vibrate loose.
