2001 maintenance

I have an 01, 6 speed manual, 2WD with 220,000 miles. It runs great and gets 20 mpg, highway.
Should I use an additive to clean the injectors? If so, which one? I don't want to screw anything else up, since it's running well.
Also, is there any other maintenance that I should do as far as "tuning up" a truck with this mileage? I've owned it since 77,000 miles and have done nothing to the engine. I can change oil and filters, but other than that I'm useless so nothing complicated
Thanks.

Diesel is the best solvent out there. Try Power Service Diesel Clean or the like for a few tanks.

Adjust valves

Good fuel filter is your best insurance, Baldwin, Napa Gold, Fleetguard, etc.
