Guys this is just what I wanted. Toreador_Diesel thanks for the straight talk also. That's what I was thinking on the FICM tune because of the weight I do tow. Having to much EGT's with that weight will just make things worst. I'll have to order some products now for the oil and fuel and give it a try. It mitt be a while before I know but will report back with I find also. This ended up being a great thread to read.

Archoil 6400-D?
Interesting that I don't see much mention of this PEA (think Techron) fuel system cleaner...? Has anyone tried it? Do folks even know it exists?
I'm just asking -- I bought some for my Bobcat to try and fix a different issue, so I can't say what it would help stiction-wise in our 6.0s, but it is a super-cleaner (concept) additive also.
Somebody has had to have tried it by now... (sorry, I've taken probably 6 months off the forum
)

Wasn't available in the US 'til middle of last year (it had been out in Europe for awhile). I bought mine from an Archoil dealer and 6.0 owner that I contacted off another forum. Mine came from the 1st batch he received in July last year...
Here's his order page, it's near the bottom:

BTW: I have no affiliation with Archoil or any other reason to bring this up other than curiosity

I noticed a difference after the first time I drove it. After about 2500 miles it was back to normal. As I understand it you do not have to add it every oil change, just when you need it.

Bonanza, I had a hard start condition when cold, ficm was good so I flushed the oil and put in 5w40 Rotella T6 and tried the Archoil. I drove it to work,(18 miles), and parked it overnight with temps around 15*f. I didn't plug it in so I could see if this stuff would make a difference. It would normally take the truck about 8-10 minutes to finally start in that temp. That morning, and ever since, the motor only turns about 2-3 seconds and fires right up. I will use it every other oil hange from now on.

[QUOTE="KDAVID1;15002075"][QUOTE="Toreador_Diesel;15000173" 70+ mph Maybe that's my problem. I'm mostly at 65 with occasional periods of 70. I have 3000 on it so I I suppose another 2000 will do the trick? 2006 F350 4X4[/QUOTE]
Run the full 7,500 mile interval with mostly freeway time and that should do the trick. Engine seems to run hotter at 2000-2200 RPMs. Atleast on my truck it does...

I tested the link and it still works for me, but no matter -- it is not just the 6400 but 6400 with a dash "d" = AR6400-D

)However, I was not aware of the "-D" difference. Now I'm curious as to what I'm running.
