Truck is still running good. Cold weather came too soon to NE Ohio and this truck doesn't like that at all. That's what made me realize that I didn't put Archoil in when we were in Texas, it makes that big of a difference. Fuel mileage is holding around 13, truck has good acceleration, temps seem to be within a reasonable range although the coolant temp like to settle around 188 or 186 lately. Oil has been within 7 to 9 of the coolant temp. I do see the thermostat open so I don't know what's going on with the coolant temps. I'll keep an eye on it, I really don't want to have to replace the thermostat again. The coolant level is still where they put it. Hasn't gone up or down. I haven't had the time to lower it to the min line as I had it before.

it says the fuel treatment treats up to 640 gallons?
i already have 15 qts of oil in, can i just add that little extra into my oil?
which one on that page do i need?
they are classified under 6.0 And 7.3
does that mean they work for both, or one is for 6.0 one is for 7.3 etc...

Yes, it does. The AR9100 is for the oil. AR6200 for fuel (follow what amounts to add)
I have used the AR6200, but didn't notice any difference.
Order the AR9100 and they just might send you a sample of the AR6200 to try.
Don't know how close you are to your next oil change, but if you are close, wait until then. If it's a fresh change, add the AR9100 now. I don't think 16oz are going to make much of a difference to the level.

so i would love to do it now. do you think i should add it with the truck on? that way it has time to stir in?
