Hot Shot Secret

First of all let me say that I have been reluctant to try a product without alot of research, but time and money was short on supply. I have had a injector or two giving me problems for the last couple of months on my 04 Dodge. I needed to move my son and his wife from Mo. back to Az. I had seen this product on this site and also Diesel Power Mag. I changed my oil and added this the day before heading to Mo. with my 32' cargo trailer. Before I got out of Az., I noticed that I had more power and quicker throttle response. I picked up a 69 camero in Gallop,New Mexico and headed for K.C. After dropping off the car at a resto shop in K.C. I Loaded all of my sons things in **** Noster, Mo. and headed back for Az. Now my cargo trailer weighs 8300 empty and we put 11,400 in the trailer ( house + shop ) . I have pulled loads like this before from the mid-west with no problems. My truck pulled like it only had 20,000 miles on it. It was great. The truck has 160,000 miles on it and I'm going to pull the engine next year and rebuild it beacuse it is dusted( bad air filt. at 100,000 ) and I just needed a little extra until then. This product dose what it claims to do......

It is a oil additive that helps get rid of build up of burnt oil on your injectors caused by high press injection. Just google Hot Shot Secret, it can explan it better than I can

I think that is something just for the ford HEUI injectors. It is a additive you add to the crankcase. I don't see any possible way it can help injectors on the Cummins.

Hate to say it but you just wasted $50. That will not work in our Cummins engine. We do not use any crankcase oil in our injectors.

You had better performance because you were out on the highway towing something heavy and got the EGTs up. This cleans the injectors better than anything out there. Works every time for me.

It says on the website home page that it was designed for "Internation truck and Engine" Leads me to believe that its only for International and possibly Cat HEUI injection systems.
Waste of money in any Dodge Cummins injection system.
