I have been running Powerservice in every tankfull since new and have had zero EGR problems or performance issues (have had reflashes though).
I have used Powerservice and Howes and both say that adding more is OK and will not harm anything. At what point does to much additive hurt and too much "cleaning" is had???
Makes me wonder if using extra additives is the reason why I (and others) have less problems with EGR and performance issues? Do these additives create a "cleaner" and better "burn" of the fuel and reduced emissions (soot).
Any comments?

Jeff, Unless we can come up with data supporting high mileage 6.0's and any fuel system parts failures for them other than poorly manufactured or designed fuel injectors from early production, I'd bet that the 7.3 group would be the one's to ask. Those with hundreds of thousands of miles. I'd be willing to bet that most any diesel run without additives is still going to outlast a gas engine, but if you're only keeping your rig for the next 3 years and maybe 60,000 miles, you're probably spending money worthlessly at every fill up. If you want maximum longevity, then keeping things clean and lubed is always your first measure.
Personally, I've only 'regularly' run additives during the winter and during harsh service periods. Now with this new look at the ingredients of what I thought was lubricity enhancers, is actually not much more than carb cleaner, (and I hope someone proves me wrong in that0, I'm wondering whether it's worth to run anything other anti-gel, (when needed), on a regular basis.

I too, have been using PS since the beginning. No issues. No smoke at startup or otherwise year round.
My cousin has an early '03 6.0 and has used Stanadyne @ every fuel up as well as in his company big rig. He has the original injectors in his 6.0.
At 56,000? miles he is still running on the original EGR Valve.
Did additive have anything to do with that? Who knows for sure...but it sure hasn't hurt. Like Jeff, he believes more is better.
