Has anybody used...
 
The friction reducer that hot shot makes? I used the stiction eliminator when I had my 6.0 and it worked pretty good so I'm wondering if the friction eliminator is worth using in the 6.2. only thing I dont care for really is that is says it swells seals. My truck is new so I don't really need that part of it lol

I don't add any snake oil to mine. Don't need it.

Thats kind of the way I look at it too but I did use the stiction eleminator woth good results . I was tickled with anything that helped my winter start-ups.

Yeah the 6.2 is pretty much bullet proof from the factory!

I am not an engineer, but I do work with a bunch of them and they can be a real pain sometimes. However, I have found that they generally know what they are talking about, so when my owner's manual says do not put any additives in the engine, coolant, or fuel, I trust they know better than me what their engine needs.
Plus, who needs swollen seals in a brand new engine?

Thats pretty much where I was with that but was curious about what others thought.
