Additives after delete???
This has probably been asked before, but now that all deletes and smarty jr. is on board, is it ok to run alittle fuel additive now and then?

BC, I've heard about 2 cycle oil, but never used it. I have used Diesel Service gray bottle in my 97 ford ps. Could you refer me to what made you confident in 2cycle oil. Thanks in advance.

Well I really wasnt too concerned with cleaning, and gelling isnt an issue down here. I was more concerned with the lack of lubricity.

Did a bunch of reading and many guys are running the two stoke, and I figured that what could be better than a shot of oil that was designed to be burned anyway....

Good study here

Great info, thank you. Can you tell a difference in your truck? As far as idle, or sound of engine, smoothness (is that a word)???

Lot of people bash the oil, but I have used it in my weed trimmers, and blowers for 8-9 years, 50-1. We have up to 6 trimmers out, and 3 blowers, I own a Lawn care business.

Cool, let us know how it goes with the fuel/additives. Glad to see you made it over from the dark side there . Deletes and Smarty can be your best friend over here.

I pretty much average ~ 16.5 mpg with my normal driving. Haven't had it out on the highway long enough to run a full tank out to see how it does there.

I want to do the deletes...but I'll need to be ready to put a dual disk clutch in too .
