I need your advice...

Hi all...
I have a 1986 F250 XLT SC LB 6.9L 4x4 C6 GV Overdrive & Banks Sidewinder Turbo with 64k miles. I have decided to add an HHO kit to maximize the
the efficiency of the slow diesel burn in the cylinder through the addition of Hydrogen & Oxygen. Any thoughts?

Save your money. There is no free lunch and the HHO item only lightens your wallet.

agreed. if you want to improve efficiency and performance, look for a used turbo kit.
they can usually be found for under $1,000

Agreed, and if you want to break a few transmissions, add propane
Ha, Ha
Ford had a bulletin about that way back in the early diesel days
Said they were not going to warranty broken drivetrain parts on propane modified diesels
