Stiction
Was wondering if anyone has tried this Hot Shot Stiction Eliminator?
Thinking it maybe just good marketing and with our injector system being as expensive as it is I would not want to be the first to try.

Answered my own question, looks like it is for older engines.

It's been a couple of years since I was an engineer in the diesel world, but when I was, Stanadyne was seen as being the benchmark brand for diesel additives for modern engines.
I use it on most tanks, and will add Sea Foam to one tank each ~5000 miles or so, mostly because it helps clean out any buildups in the fuel system.

BigF350, I have read about Sea Foam, do you notice a difference when you use it? I am afraid of adding anything other than cetane to my fuel. The dealer told me that there is nothing to they can do to clean the injectors.

This oil additive is not required in the 6.7 psd.

My truck is a 7.3 though, that has about 190k miles on it though, I would bother with it, until you have at least 10k miles underneath you.
I also dump some in my oil 50miles before changing, I really notice a difference then, as the oil that comes out is much thicker and blacker.

I would be real cautious about running Sea Foam in a Common Rail fuel system. If you want to clean your injectors run some Diesel Kleen since they claim the stuff cleans diesel injectors.
BTW... You could get gasoline in the 7.3 fuel system and it wouldn't care, just sputter and miss at worst, but get gasoline in a Common Rail fuel system like what's on the 6.7 and it's game over.
