Forgot to post back here. I did change the fuel filter. It had been on there since 2019 (truck has not had 20 miles put on it since I brought it home from buying it) I have not driven it back on the road yet but I have a long driveway of about 2000 ft and it seems to be a lot better now.

One thing that I am not sure if related, but the pedal will no longer return to idle on its own and I had to use my foot under the pedal to lift it back up. I put an external set of springs on the engine side to help bring it back to idle for now. It is just a yard truck so to speak at this point. Since I am not very familiar with the diesels I will grab a picture of what I did to see if you think that might have been my issue as well

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
