2wd 5030SU, 1900 hours. After running approx 45 minutes, the engine sounds starved for a few moments, sounds like it's missing then won't rev. Resumes normal power shortly thereafter. It's more significant than one fuel injector intermittently failing. No idiot lights on, temp gauge is at the 3/4 mark. Drained all fuel, replaced filter 2 hours run time ago, filter nowhere near as heavy as in the past, added Lucas treatment and still have the issue. Please help, I am a one tractor farm and REALLY don't need the expense of an injection pump!
5030SU injection pump failing?

Make sure you're getting a good flow of fuel from the tank down to the pump. I'm pretty sure you have a lift pump before the injection pump. Check and make sure the return line back to the tank is not plugged.
Another check would be if your fuel cap is properly venting. When it acts up, loosen the fuel cap and see if it relieves the problem. Could be something in the tank as well while sloshing around, covers the inlet for fuel to go out.
Good luck and hoping it's something simple!
