    There could be a couple reasons. It's been really windy the last couple weeks. Diesel was switched over to winter blend which will cause a loss of fuel economy.
    When's the last time you changed your air filter?

    When's the last time you changed both fuel filters? Where do you park at? You sure your not donating to someone parking near you?

    Have you ever tested the CAC? You could have either a bad hose or CAC has holes. I'd be looking at the air system from the intake through the to the turbo first before digging into anything else.
    Has the truck ever had the overhead set?
