. Seriously though, there are a number of things that could cause the "bucking". If it happens "tuned" and not stock, then look at the tune as the issue IMO.

Using any oil additive is a questionable thing w/ the 6.0L. If you are experiencing stiction issues, then (again as Tim said), Rev-X seems to have worked for a number of people - although its success is often times temporary. If you don't have stiction issues, then just use the proper oil and change it and the filter at the proper interval.

It may take a moment for the HSS to do ts thing, mine took just over 1000 miles and it made a great difference. What Mark says is correct, use the correct motorcraft filters and be faithful with frequency of oil changes and use synthetics.

Here is what I am trying....
I tried it once before just as preventative maintanence. I sent a sample into Blackstone Labs and it did no harm and all reports cam back just fine (after running for 5,000 miles).
I now have a "lazy injector" and have tried it again. I changed my oil and filter and added 1 jug (2qts) and will run for 5,000 miles to see if it improves??
My dealer diesel mechanic wants me to drop my truck off some evening so he can do a "first thing in the morning" cold soak test of my truck when hooked up to his computer. This actual test has never been done before and will help pin-point what is actually going on he states (so at this point, not 100% sure if I have an injector problem or not.... even though he saw it "drop out" during last month's testing of my truck).
I figure Hot Shot Secret will not hurt anything and with their money guarentee, why not try???

I had that problem with mine at 95,000 miles. I got the hot shot oil additive and the fuel treatment from them. I added the whole bottle on the next oil change plus the fuel treatment. After about 1,500 miles, the issue was gone. I changed the oil at 5,000 miles and never had another issue. I have about 103K on it now.

Of course, I am looking for miracles and want it to happen sooner rather than later... but I guess I need some patience.
