Need help with Cummins diesel
2000 American Dream. 350 Cummins diesel. I am stopped in a rest area between Clayton, NM and Raron, NM (far from everything). My MH is bogging down. Started yesterday-stopped and cleaned air filter (the big cannister) and changed the fuel filter. Ran much better. Then filled up this morning and drove about 150 miles and it started again.
Symptoms: Power seems to drop off. With foot on floor, coach goes about 40-45 mph. Today, ran fine after fill-up then when I started climbing in elevation, power dropped off again. It acts like the engine is surging a little. There were 3-4 small puffs of black smoke (have someone following me). Any ideas? This is not the end of the earth, but you can see it from here. And if anyone knows a truck service in Clayton or Raton, that would be a help, too. I have another spare fuel filter and just sent after some disel to put in it when it's changed.
Thanks for any help. Not a good place to be stuck and not sure if I can limp on into Raton.
