Injectors Fixed, Engine Saved...

<hr style="color: rgb(209, 209, 225); background-color: rgb(209, 209, 225);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> From one of our customers and their experience with Hot Shot's Secret...in his own words...Thanks, Mark!


Chris,
It was great to talk to you this morning,
As I said I have a 2003 F-350 with the 6.0 Power Stroke*it has 75k miles, I had taken it in to the Ford dealership and explained that it had lost some power and was hard to start in the mornings even though it had been plugged in. I thought this was a minor problem, adjustment, bad fuel, ect… to my dismay three days later I had a call back from the dealership and I quote "Our technician has found that you need to replace your engine the cost 14,000.00 dollars". I asked how they had come to that conclusion she said that he had put it on the diagnostic's computer and had determined that all eight of the injectors needed to be replaced, and that the EGR valve also needed replacing, then she said and I quote “the engine has been ‘dusted‘". I asked what do you mean dusted? She said dust had gotten by the air filter and had caused wear on the #6&7 cylinders. Mmmm.* Now I'm two hundred miles from home just got done working a 16 hour day this just made my day! On the drive back home (four hours) I got mad and the more I thought about what was said the hotter I became. The next morning I went into the dealership and picked up my truck "nothing was done to the truck" went home and ordered Hot Shots Secret. Now I'm, as my wife say's, "Extremely ****" when it comes to oil changes and maintenance on my vehicles. So **** that at 2500 miles I've already pulled my tools and supplies out so I'm ready for the 3000 mile oil change. Well back to what I was saying, I put the Hot Shot’s Secret in with an oil change drove the truck 600 miles from Boise Id to Seattle Wa, took the truck over to a family members shop and ran a diagnostics on it, "Guess what" not one fault came up all injectors were working and when he pulled the injector's they all tested out. "No injectors were replaced" we also ran a compression check on all cylinders the compression was in line with the spec's. I have seen the increase in fuel mileage and the return of the power I had known when the truck was new,
Now after all of this I am a believer in Chris Gabrelcik's claim that Hot Shot’s Secret is the best product out there. Just talking with him this morning as he took my order for more Hot Shot’s Secret made me even more confident that he knows what he is talking about.**
*Thank you* for all your hard work you have a customer for life.********************************************* *****

I bought a dose of HSS to use in my next oil change. I don't have any issues at all, but at 87K miles it seemed to make sense to run it thru my system as a preventive maintainance.

Will give feedback if I notice any thing using it this way.

Slow,
That was copied and pasted right out of my email. I get calls and emails like that almost every day. I had a user call 3 weeks ago that said his F250 had a top speed of 93 MPH. After 15 minutes with HSS he got 107MPH (he was on a race track). That was a 15% increase in 15 minutes. He couldn't believe it and was calling me to verify it and ask how that can be. I just explained everything the way I did here. This forum is how I introduced the product. That product was made for International Truck and Engine just for this truck. They spent 2 years testing it. It is the real McCoy. I am still hoping for a International part number for it. In the mean time Ford Truck Enthusiasts rules!! We are leading the way showing that the users have more answers than the manufacturer in many cases.

Chris

I just ran a full dose on the last oil change (5,000 miles), no real problems here either. The engine did run a lot smoother and the turbo sounded better. The temps are in the low 40's some mornings here and the engine starts up and sounds great. I will use HSS as preventative maintenance every couple of oil changes. Thanks Chris! A question for you Chris, I have two bottles of 404, how often should I use it? What do you have as a fuel lubricant since the 404 doesn't say "lubricant"?
