Adjusting valves on Cummins

I bought an 2001 Dodge 2500 with cummins motor a couple months ago..( I must say,much better than the Powerstoke I had.) I love it!..but anyway,it sounds like one lifter is a little loose. Can i adjust valves myself,and if so,what is the right way? I have adjusted valves before,on alot of cars.but dont know if it is the same on these cummins.

before,I would remove valve cover,start vehicle,and loosen up valve,until here clicking,,and then tighten down slow until It quit,and then turned 1/2 turn.Done! Any correct info on the cummins would be great. thanks in advance!
