what's the best fuel system/injector cleaner--walmart has a $20.00 cleaning at their service center--will over the counter stuff do just as good a job?
I use 3M injector cleaner and I hold the pressure at about 38 PSI on the regulator with the fuel pumps and fuel pressure regulator disabled.
A can cost about $20.00 and will run the engine for about 15 minutes.
Most places will run a can through you system for about $100.00 if you do not have the regulator and hoses to do it your self.
I would not put anything in the fuel tanks as I think that does very little cleaning and may cause other problems.
on bobis theoilguy site, they say Chevron with Techron is one of the best since it has Poly Ether Amines (PEA).....

I tried the Techron additive in the fuel tank and it did not help me so I when ahead and cleaned them with 3M and engine straiten right up and ran great.
Not sure where they sell Chevron with Techron but not around here.
I think Chevron may be in south California as I saw a Chevron station out there about 40 years ago when I was in the Navy.

sorry, meant the bottled stuff from Advanced Auto Parts (known by other names in different states). there are actually two "with Techron" additives by Chevron. I haven't been on the BITOG site in a while, so i can't provide further info...sorry to all.

Could you afford to put your truck down for a week my friend?
Cans will only get you so far, they might actually dislodge corrosion and such.
I highly recommend taking 15 minutes to pop out your injectors and sending them off to WitchHunter Performance.
They run them through a multi stage cleaning/pulsing system and flow them.
They even give you a before and after graph which let's you see just how bad they were!
I got mine done for $17/each plus $10 shipping for all 8.
Gordon did a great job!
They do amazing work for a VERY reasonable price!
