Tow pig having issues on the way to SEMA

Ok, we are heading to SEMA, towing our new show truck. Our 04 cummins tow pig is having issues.

It wont go over 45-50mph, is drinking tons of diesel and has very little power. It had a full service done just over 10,000 miles ago.

It is towing a 24ft gooseneck and is really struggling. It was fine for the first 600 miles!

Any suggestions?

We're pushed for time and somewhat stranded.

Please, any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

How's the oil level? Sounds like a bad injector.

I agree. That fuel has to be going somewhere and if it was going out of the tailpipe you'd know it.

It does sound like an injector. Check the oil level, see if it's thin and very high. Look for oil all over the bottom of the truck.

Check the codes:

Pull the air filter, make sure it's not clogged.

Do you have any gauges? Boost, fuel pressure, rail pressure?
