Same here too.
I was going down to SoCal for a week before I found
my truck. I was looking at the time.
Anyway I was at the airport talking to the people at Snow
about things and how it would work with the 6.0L
I just have not talked to anyone using it at all.

I wish yall luck with this never tried it on a diesel.
I have some experience with this but only in race cars from a long time ago.
Not daily drivers. Being as how I never drove my cars to work I really see no beneift on a dayly driver, but thats just me.

Well I've been thinking about it too. A friend of mine installed it on his 09 Duramax and says he feels an increase in power as it opens up. He's not technical enough to know whether it gained him any mpg though!

Water/Meth Injection
In principle of Water/Meth Injection on a Gasser it works like a champ, cleans up the exhaust and allows you to pass the emission test's really easy. Your oil gets more dirty and also increase's power and MPG. I got between 1.5 to 1.8 more MPG on a 79 Ford 460 4 Barrel Carb.
I have heard that the big rigs are using water Injection and getting better results from it in power and MPG. I also have been thinking about installing a Snow unit also, just been dragging my feet.
It should work as H2O/Meth into intake side cools the burn a bit and also adds compression and should cool exhaust and lower emmissions. In the windshield cleaner for winter use is Methanol at around 49%, Heet gas line anti-frezze for gassers is 12oz of Methanol. So one could mix up whatever he wanted in the tank.
I guess I will have to bite the bullet and get the kit one day soon. Vern

Banks had a write up on it in Diesel Power I believe last month. They added it to one of there kits just for the 6.0L. I know Banks is expensive but it tells the story. If towing heavy or just for extra power I'm sure its not a bad idea.

No, but when it dumps that much water into the intake it doesn't take long to bend the rods if the RPM's are high enough. Not to mention that these engines can run with bent rods. Don't ask me how I know--LOL.

I can verify that when they are wound up they can bend them all under the right/wrong circumstances. My experiences were from getting water from a leaking egr cooler.
It ingested just enugh water to bend the rods but not lock up the engine.

Never seen this. While running it just don't seem like it puts that much water out there. While stopped and resting it could leak enough but it won't crank over enough to do all the rods. But I have been wrong before so I haven't seen this. Only one at a time.

One of the reasons they say to mount the supply
tank below the hight of the intake. But there is always
a risk when doing something outside the norm for that
matter there is a risk when still in the norm.
