I was just wondering If I can start using the Stanadyne fuel additive with 12,700 on the clock.. and all unloaded. I thought I read somewhere that I shouldn't use additives until breakin. Just wanted to make sure and get some good advice.

Thanks,

Jamie

 

In my truck, I was using fuel additives almost since day one.

You don't want to change to synthetic engine oils until after break in however.

Use it. It lubricates pump, etc.................

 

Thanks for the good advice... I'm pouring it in now!!!

Good job Jmac

 

In one day I can report the motor starts easier anyway. Time will tell regarding mileage.

Thanks all.

I may have to get a bottle of it before my next fillup

My fiance' thinks I'm over the deep end with all that I do with this truck. But it has actually become a hobby for me.

 

You think you got it bad Jmac... My GF is hating me now.. Ive got a jeep, that is my rockcrawling toy, that Ive dumped a ton of money into, and now that Ive got my truck.. more money is going into it.. and she keeps asking where her engagement ring is LOL..

Keep on truckin!! Be good to the girl. Keep the tank full. After all who else will ride with you!!! My girl actually drives mine...supervised.

 

My girl refuses to drive mine, cuz its "too big", that and she's not real experienced with a stick.. but as much as I tell her, you can't stall it in first gear... she doesnt listen.

I'm now getting approx. 1mpg better with Stanadyne with cetane boost. I'm going to try the grey bottle of Diesel Kleen and see how that performs comparatively...Stanadyne is too expensive for me.
