Hi,

You may need to run the codes to find out if you have failing injectors. The most common cause of injector failure is stiction. Stiction is the result of searing the engine oil by the injectors which causes oxidation to form on them.

Our product was developed for International for the 6.0 to address this issue and has been tested and proven to be safe and effective. There is a money back guarantee so there is no risk to try it.

See Lubrication Specialties | Diesel Motor Oil | Primrose Engine Oil | Fuel Additives | Oil Additives | Engine Restore| for more information. Feel free to email or call with any questions.

Good Luck,

Dan

The word is SHEARING, not searing....but anyway, how many miles the engine got on it? Did you have anyone run a Oasis Report on it BEFORE you bought it? Hope you got a real good deal. Bet it was driven hard and put away wet! Have the codes read as Dan says and come back here to let us know what it says. Oh yeah, if you don't have an Oasis report, go to the top of this Forum and request one. Have your VIN ready.

Hi,

Sorry for the typo...Shearing.

We also offer Hot Shot's Secret with our Tune Up Trio which will give you the Fire Power 404 injector and fuel system cleaner as well as the NT Oil Additive. Three heavy hitters in one deal!

You can find that by clicking on the "Special Offer" button.

I also wanted to mention that if this is an injector issue...you can help to avoid the stiction problem in the future by switching to a synthetic oil like our pure synthetic Blue Diamond. We also offer the bypass filtration system and oil analysis for optimum performance.

All of these things can be found on the website.

Hope this helps!

Dan

Before you go out and buy new injectors or take it to Ford, I'd give Hot Shot Secret a try. I was starting to have injector issues near the end of last year and Hot Shot Secret combined with 404 Firepower, fixed my injector issues. The PO probably didn't take very good care of the truck and let the oil change interval go a little longer than it should. I'd get some HSS, 404 firepower, change the oil, fill up and take it on a long drive to get things circulating. You'll be pleasantly surprised....

pull the intake tubes off after the turbo and check for excessive oil in them. you might have a bad turbo. a little oil is normal, but alot will point you towards a bad turbo.
