Engine idle different sound

Lately, when I'm sitting there idling, my engine sounds like a horse after it has been riden hard and blows out it nostrils and mouth. It sounds to me like a horse blowing air and making their lips flutter. ALmost like making a fart sound with you lips.

Tonight after towing my boat , at the house the engine acted like it tried to cut off a couple of times. It's steady getting worse.

It's an 04.5 HO 5.9 cummings. Any suggestions?

I came home from towing our tavel trailer from Georgia(6 hours trip) and I put a quart of injector cleaner in it to see if that would help but apparently it didn't.

Thanks
in advance
Randy

First thought is to find out who stole your Cummins and replaced it with a Cummings diesel. They are worse than a 6.4 Furd.

Is your oil level increasing, or do you smell diesel in the oil? First guess out of the box is you have one or more Injectors going.
