Short Distance Driving

Being that what I need the truck for is either broke or getting rebuilt I dont really get to stretch the trucks legs like I would like to. I drive it to work everyday and that is a 60 mile round trip. Other than that it is around town driving.


Do yall suggest an additive for this kind of driving?

Always use an additive. The 7.3 was not designed with ULSD as a factor. It will help no matter how short or long the drive is. 60miles roundtrip if mostly highway will burn off most of the moisture.
