What are you guys running for additives, if any?

Most modern diesels reccomend not to use additives. I personally have never had any reason to run them other anti gel in the old trucks when its cold out

No additives, Just homebrew B99 in the 06 dodge and in the old Detroit Astro-95 half red and half used motor oil.

cetane boost in our 00 EX with a 02 7.3.

adds some of the sulfur back into the fuel that is now missing. truck definitely runs better with it.

Andy (hoofarted) runs 2 stroke oil in his '03 7.3 ex, says the injectors were noticeably quieter

like a 16oz bottle of 927 to a tank of gas?

he buys the big walmart brand jug of the tcw3 oil, can't remember how much, I want to say liek 1qt/tank or soemthing simple like that. I'm sure when he gets back to work tomorrow he'll respond to this.

Thanks guys.
5 years, 125,000 miles and I've never used additives.
Zero, zip, nada.

I've only had a few injector issues, covered.
Recently an EGR issue, not covered. $$$

Another studder cropped up.
I'm just realizing that everyissue was precipitated by a mountain trip. We ski.
Believe me this truck does not like the cold.
I think the possibility of getting some bad or marginal fuel on the road with cold weather is not a good combo.
I just used some Sea Foam. Cleared up the studder. Still feels a little lazy.
Like I said earlier after 5 years I'm realizing it needs a little help in the cold.

Yeah I use the wal-mart 2T oil in mine. 1oz per gallon is the ratio. I wouldnt use it on any EGR/CAT equipped Diesel though. Mine is a 7.3 with none of that stuff and the ULSD is the primary reason for adding it...did make a difference in quieting down the injectors and adding some MPG.

I do use this as well and recommend this stuff:



That works well - helps in cold climates too. Check it out.

Bob did a write up about some stuff he used but I forget what it was called....

ford 6.0? egr is a notorious problem on the 6.0 as is the turbo in pre '07 years, it gums up with oil from not having enough drainage. There is also a wire harness that rubs on the motor somewhere that can cause some bizaar issues. studder could be that wire harness.

Bob's truck is made for ULSD and has a cat, so I guess he gived himself an apple cider enema instead

Bob's going green.

This is what I run when I tow.....

Stanadyne is the ONLY injection pump manufacture who also makes additives.

This is what I run all the time...



1/2 oz. per gallon. (256:1)[/img]

guess at the next fill up ill dump one of my last 2 bottles of 927 in th e tank.. would be about 1/2 the ratio that andy stated so i should be safe Whats a little more smoke for the mexican thumpin his mariachi in a convertable
