Has any one put it to the test, like befor and after checks. Because i got 183k miles on my 4.0 and pops got 177k on his 4.9. So is it worth the $40

Yes and No. With that kinda of mileage you already have some buildup. That stuff is really meant for a newer vehicle. It'll help yours but its only gonna cover whats already there.

OK I see, I was thinking of something totally different. But 40 for any engine treatment is ridiculous in my opinion. I use seafoam when its on sale for $6 and I'll throw a bottle of Lucas in the motor. Beyond that, all those things are junk IMHO. $40 is a fill up at the pump. Try running premium once a month or so, that should help a bit with cleaning the internals i've heard.

OP can you link me to this stuff? I have never seen or heard of what your asking about.

Edge: I had to say that as I asked my buddy mike (paint shop) What he thought about me doing snow camo on my utility body. Of course his reply was, " you want to make it a cow!" I was pissed and he wont do it.. But he also does not get why I asked him to just do my base coat white and not to clear it yet I'll get the last laugh if I can get the time off before snow flys

Save fuel in gas and diesel engines, friction reducer, engine lubrication and valve cleaner

^^^Snake oil in a bottle if you ask me. You need to post pics of your truck when you get it painted

The only thing that I have ever used and does work is seafoam, berrymans is a close second but I think its chemically very close to seafoam either way.
