If so, can I only do one of them or would I need to do them all?

I don't use any diesel additive. Perhaps I should see if that helps lubricate the injector and ends the nailing?

I appreciate your thoughts...
First I would check these:
* Valve adjustment on that cylinder is slightly tight.
* Glow plug on that cylinder is marginal or bad.
