Did they flash the latest programming to the PCM? Lots of people with earlier 6.0Ls report the power being neutered with the newer programs. The lack of power when cold is in the strategy to protect the engine so you can't push it hard until its warmed up.

Do you sell the stuff? Not that i care, but if you do you should say so. How do you know it has a good track record? where is your evidence?

Andrew,
Dan is helping me out because I have been swamped. Yes we do have proof that Hot Shot's Secret works. I developed the product for International Truck and Engine and I am currently in the process of getting a part # from them for this product. It is was made specifically for this problem and will resolve it 9 out of 10 times. Lubrication Specialties does offer a guarantee on the product. Look on this site for Hot Shot's Secret and you will see that hundreds of people just like you have used it with great success. Let me know what other info you would like.

Thanks,
Chris Gabrelcik

I hope that's not true because that puts people in danger of getting into an accident due to no power when they think there will be power. I can't see the Ford legal department allowing that to happen.

Thanks for the quick response Chris - im sure you can appreciate me wanting to know if you have a vested interest in a product you are promoting. i was a little skepitcal about someone with minimal feedback hawking a product. These engines are a $9000 option ( in canada ) and i want it to last as long as possible. so what i put in the engine is very important to me. thanks and if i have further questions - i will not hesitate to ask.
