The first place I would take it to is a Detroit Deisel shop that is independent of Freightliner.

Take it to a shop. Have them do a cac check, vgt test and erg test. Does the power change if you change fuel filters? Air filters can change your hp huge if they are dirty. Just normal maintenance is major factor in hp and mpg.

Granted SOME Freightliner shops have good Detroit mechanics, but not all.
Detroit in the other hand, will have ALL good Detroit mechanics, and be much more clued in the more rare problems.

Might just be time for an inframe if it has a lot of miles. Get it dynoed and find out what the blow-by is.

X2 on taking it to a Detroit shop. And honestly, to a T/A? I wouldn't let those guys work on a wheelbarrow.
