I have been using the AR6200 for quite awhile. I am not sure if it has been a benefit. It is less expensive than other additives.
I did not use the Ar9100. I did a different approach.
I used the AR2300 first. A cleaner for the motor. What I found was my oil got black real fast. Normally, my oil looks real clean for a few thousand miles. With the AR2300, it changed very quick.
After going nearly 5000 miles, I changed oil and added the AR9300. Very spendy stuff. It is supposed to last 50,000 miles. We will see.
Did it change any thing? Not sure.
At the end of this oil run, I will do a "blackstone" analysis and see what they say.
I have not had any issues with my motor to drive me to doing these things, just curious more than anything else.
I have, during the time I have owned this truck, did Seafoam 100 miles before an oil change, and ran 5000 miles on another oil change with a bottle of Seafoam in the oil.
If what all of these different folks have stated their products do, I should have the cleanest 6.0L in the country!!!!
I have about 58,000 on this 2004 motor.
So, we will see what happens!!!!!!
Repairs I have done:
New Powermax turbo ( I broke my turbo cleaning it, broke a post where one of the vanes sit)
FICM repaired and added Atlas 40 tune.
MPG is now, last tank, hand calculated, 15.8 mixed city and highway, mostly highway.
By the way, I used to use a mixture of Diesel kleen and 2 stroke oil before the AR6200 and now my motor is a lot louder than before.
Just my .02

I am on my second oil change with the AR9100 and could not be more pleased. I have 138K on the motor. Before using the product I was experiencing cold starts and rough idle until the motor warmed up. I was told that I may need to get new injectors. No more cold starts and my truck runs like it was new. I bought the Ar6100 fuel conditioner the first time and the AR6200 the second time. I can definately tell a differance in this and Diesel Kleen which I used in every tank before. I have gained at least 1mph. More importantly is how great my truck runs. I am also using the AR6200 in my lawn mower, weed eater, blower as well and they all start easier and run great. I put some in my wifes car and didn't tell her. She asked if I did anything to her car, that it seemed to be running better.
Yeah, I am a firm believer in the product.

I drove from Flagstaff AZ, tank filled to the top of the filler neck to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and back to Flagstaff. I used the ArchOil fuel treatment. I also drained some oil and put in 16oz of the oil treatment. There were 5 of us and all our stuff plus the weight of my new hitch in the bed. Hand calculated 18.19 MPG. That is by far, the best mileage I have had in my truck. I am also running Matt's SRL+ tune.

I have an 2005 F-250 power stroke and have been having stiction issue on cold start-up until it is warm for about 9 month to a year now. Idles fine but runs ruff during acceleration until warm. I just changed the oil and added 16oz of Archoil 9100. After oil change, I drove 15 min then let set over night. Next day on cold start, accelerated and no ruff running when motor is cold. I am sold.

Keep in mind just hides the underlying problem that you still have. It is just a band-aid...
