I believe that the Ford manual states no oil additives but approves some fuel additives.

Good oil shouldn't need the additives IMO.

My truck chuggs every time I have a cold start and I have the brake slighty pressed when backing up. But I just tap the gas and its gone. My old gasser chevy did the same thing.
But the 6.0 run flawlessly so I am not to worried about it.

I FINALLY got my money back from the place that I got the wrong exhuast so tomorrow I WILL order from MotorHaven. I promise. I just wanted make sure I got my moeny back first before I ordered another one. Don't wanna have about 700 bones worth of exhaust that I can't use.

But with just the Edge its unbelieveable. This thing will flat out fly. I keep it on level 3 and shifts fine, and after the exhaust comes 4 and 5 will be perfect shifts too.

You and Matt are making me think of water injection. But I am a scared little boy when it comes to that. That is a man size mod and I am yet still a timid boy.
