I'll post an update once I get some of these adjustments / procedures done, and I'll try my best to take a video before and after of the engine running, as it might be helpful to others.

Q: ALDA removal (just to test and see what happens to low speed power) and reinstall. * This is critical, and should be done ASAP. Q: Valve adjustment (soon as I get wrenches) * Never a bad idea. Q: Diesel purge * I disagree, run the filter until it plugs up or for a year.
