You could incase an injector is acting funny but likely you have a or all injectors on their way out. Unless you have some bad fuel or it Gelling. Fill out a sig of any mods an share your region or state. ULSD is not good fuel IMHO.

You could try a Qt of Power Service and hook to a loaded 4-8K trailer and drive it for a few hours non stop to help clean them up and see if that helps and if not its $$$ time.
