Got 35.030 gallons today and put it in on top of 30oz TCW3

Truck isn't silent, but there is a difference, and VIVA LA DIFFERENCE!!!

i've had a similar ticking noise in my 02' that you are describing that is rpm related & have always wondered if it was the injection pump. tick sounds like it's almost coming from the dash behind the steering wheel. had the tick since about 20,000 miles on the truck & doesn't seem to matter if it's hot or cold....never been able to get rid of mine though even after adding 2-stroke oil. did you notice any less of the ticking noise after using 2-stroke oil?

I think I'll be trying 2 stroke oil in my tank. I have a few bottles of AMSOIL Fuel Additive left. What is the general consensus? Is the oil additive enough? Should I add it with the 2 stroke oil or half and half of each?

I would like to keep using the AMSOIL to keep injectors clean.

Well it'll mess it up. Think I read it in the owner's manual somewhere.

I was just wondering,, does it metter much what brand/type of 2-stroke oil to run?

I just now started researching this topic and I think I am going to give it a try! I was cleaning out the shed and garage last week and I have several small bottles of various 2-stroke mix (poulan, tech 2000, homelite, etc...) can I mix them together in my tank?

Is there something that will be on the label I should look for, a certainb type or rating from some governing body? Or can I just burn through them all.

I dont want to run them in my 2-stroke equipment because everything I have is a Stihl and I run their stuff for them

Just as long as it is ashless 2-stroke oil it should be fine.

for those concerned about 2 cycle plugging up the cat?...........how do you explain the use of a cat on many modern 2 cycle engines going back to the mid 1980's used first on Yamaha's RZ500
