I'd be willing to bet that some other outfit is making the same thing just putting the ford sticker on it for more money to the stealership. I believe there were tests done on different additives that claim to increase the cetane rating for fuel ... the end of the tests showed that one container could not possibly increase the rating enough from one container to make that much difference. Buying clean fuel is the best way to keep the scooter operating properly. Stop by a truck stop and talk to the drivers of the good looking - well kept rigs and they will tell you the best additives to get.

Lightning, that is one sweet rig. I love the Turbo wing. My mom used to have those on her Long nose Peterbilts. (She owned a trucking company while I was growing up) The only thing missing is stacks.
As far as the additive. I use Stanadyne. I can definatly tell the difference in the way it runs. I buy my fuel from a station that goes through diesel like there's a huricane coming so I know its fresh. So I know the additive makes a difference. I haven't heard of the one your talking about, but I don't go to Ford if I can help it. But the main part is, if you can tell the diff and your happy, RUN IT MAN!!!

Good lookin' horse. I have an '01 PSD F250 and it has 150,450 miles on it. Runs extremely well. I have always used Marvel Mystery oil in the fuel. It treats 30 gal per 4oz. i really believe in and have used it for years in all types of engines. Occasionally I'll run a little PowerClean thru it, but there doesn't seem to be much if any measurable differences. And it is quite inexpensive.

Man sweet truck!! Looks real good but like RubberDuck said it needs some stacks in the back. Where did you get the wing on top? Does it help while towing? I have a high profile 5er and was thinking of somthing like a wing for better mileage.
