Gental men I respect everyone's opinion and if I may I believe there has been so mini snake oils and get rich scams well isn't this why we are here. 2 and speed I respect what you both say ,,,
I will challenge ANYONE not to admit ford , direct tv,AT&T, ect hasn't well maybe dealt 100'% true with us fellow Americans, we seek the truth.)

I admit I'm in it to bust revX plain and simple , can afford new injectors, yes, can I with the help of fte rebuild my injectors,,, well yes I can . 3000 miles plus going strong ( darn it) we will see, but one of the new engineers out there is my son ( not with revX) and I weekly get blown away with what the younger minds are doing. Just saying.
I am Truly thankful for the brother (and sister hood) of this site..

revX be ware if you are a hoax, but I will be sure to be grateful if it work
Thx all will keep you updated

Jet interesting almost went that way (arch) but was disparate, it was 20* f out side and I was mad and desperate not traits I'm proud of but went with the rev cause it was on hand , arch you can only order through the mail ? Talked to them folks directly both products don't thin ie with cleaners but reduce friction .. So viscosity at least doesn't go down which is a good thing
God speed

It never ceases to amaze me how some people will go to the mat arguing about certain things. At the end of the day what does it really matter, guys? If you like pouring Rev-X or Archoil or Hot Shot or Windex or Coors Light in your truck, and it does what you want (whatever that is), then good for you.

There you go again spouting off about things you cannot prove. Proof????

Still waiting on this proof also??? If it's so easy post up!!

Rev X is no more or less likely to fix/cure/mask anything than any other oil related product. With that said, there are THOUSANDS of people that swear Rev X, Archoil, and HSS all work, specifically with the 6.0. Not every injector fails the same way. You are apparently bitter because it couldn't fix your injectors, but that doesn't mean it cannot fix other people's.

Keith number 21, I think this pissin match should go away, It all depends on how bad the Stiction really is , at first sight yes it could very well clean the spool and help , If it Has been doing this for a long While then no it's a bandaid. a lot has to do with proper oil and fuel Maint, a FICM going south will also have the same effect making the truck at cold start run rough making people think it's stiction. I for one have used Rev X yes it (helped) but knowing it was just to get me out of winter, before I replaced my ficm bad cold start ,after Installing new Ficm no problems. Lets keep this thread civil Please

I was poking around some older threads and I noticed we (Hot Shot's) didn't get hardly any mention in this discussion. Just as a response to this specific comment, our Stiction Eliminator does just that. It was designed with a very strong detergent package to clean off the varnish (stiction) without harming the rest of the motor. We were actually approached by International to create a product to clean out the stiction, and went through 2 years of testing with them. This may be swatting the beehive by bumping this but oh well

HHS is on the block for the next oil change. I'm running Archoil now and it has made my truck quieter and is cleaning up a intermittent sticky injector,it's is better now for sure but it's not cured. I also want to sent my FICM to Ed for the full treatment and a Atlas 40tune,so I have a little more savings to do and then I will be sure it's a injector going south
