So what did you do to your 6.0L today?
#7501
Yeah. That's in there too. It was on sale at TS. Seems they only want you to do it once every 6 months. Can it damage o-rings and soft parts? I wouldn't have thought it would be damaging metal. I'm tempted to do another round after this tank of fuel under the 'more is better' rule, but I don't want to screw myself either.
I don't think running it twice will hurt, if anything you're finishing off what's left of the IDIDs.
If you had a long bed and the 37 gallon tank, I'd just dump the whole bottle in and take a road trip.

I have a 44 gallon tank on my Excursion, so I just dumped most of it in (3/4 of the bottle) The other 25% that was left I dumped in when I filled up again.

The sale price at TS was $11 so I guess it's worth a shot to see what it does.

I'm interested to see what it does. Since I filled up I've only driven 65 miles so really it's been sitting in the system since Saturday ... maybe it's doing it's magic right now. Later today and tomorrow will be all highway miles so if it needs a hot system to work properly, then it will have it.

Like the Hot Shot Secret Stiction Eliminator, the fuel additive works best on a hot system. It will especially work well if you're running a Mishimoto thermostat.

The injectors are all original from 2003 with 334,000 miles. Recent cold weather starts have been brutal, even when plugged in. I'll report back later.

I bought the same kit for my truck October 2013 and came to regret it a year and a few months later December 2014.
The hoses on the Sinister kit are designed to fail, whereas the Diesel Site kit hoses are not. Diesel site uses barbed fittings instead of compressed fittings like Sinister.
The FTE app is being difficult and won't let me post pictures from the Bat Phone, but if you PM me your number, I'll send them to you for you to see.

Consider trying their fuel additive called Diesel Extreme. You're cleaning the oil side of your injectors, their fuel additive will thoroughly clean the fuel side of the injectors.
I recently ran some and prior to it, I had some hesitation, inconsistent throttle response, as well as the occasional misfire while starting and while cruising. After running a full treatment of Diesel Extreme, my 6.0 is the Monster it was meant to be. The throttle response is more consistent and my mileage is what it should be now (15 mpg before, now 17+ mpg).
You can find it at Tractor Supply or Autozone.

I like it when stuff is available at a local store and I don't have to order it, I am going to give the Diesel Extreme a try. I truly think the Hot Shot Secret has helped, the small amount of stiction I had is gone on cold morning starts.

Acf6 and Boatdreamin are trying it now too and have already noticed a difference.
I'm on my tank after the treatment and so far my truck is still getting 17 mpg! Up from the solid 15 mpg it got before.

Me too, I was skeptical about it since I thought it was just "another additive" but when I got to half tank and my truck sounded and ran way better, I was convinced.

I have NOT had any issues w/my Sinister but I like the idea of "barbed fittings" & that plain Billet housing is sexy

TSC and ASC both carry it here in their stores.... seen it a couple times in like pepboys and autozone.. but seems like not all of the chains carried it...
