Does this work in a semi engine?
I add Archoil to my morning coffee. Now I have no problems going to the bathroom.
Your a cock simple
So it took care of any stiction you might have?
It did at the time, but eventually we replaced all of our injectors at around 130,000 miles. we have used it with every oil change on our new injectors. We now have 100,000 miles on those injectors. I the other archoil products like the the diesel fuel cleaner are very good also.
I just added this to my 7.3 with 125,000 miles. It DOES run smoother!!
I just started using it in my 7.3L Ford. Truck is new to me and runs great and want to do everything I can to maintain it. Thank You
Yeah I would use Schaeffer oil. It has friction modifiers (Moly and Penetro), excellent base stocks, and has awesome additives especially the diesel oil. The Diesel Treat 2000 fuel additive is world class too.
Just added it to my 6.0. I always had to warm it up before I drove it. Damnit, this stuff does work, thanks brother!
I use both products in my 2004 F-250. Great product.
Thumbs up.
I have an 07 F350. Never had the sticktion issue but decided to use the additive anyway. I figured it would probably prevent future problems. I also had my truck "gone over" by Bulletproof Diesel in Arizona. I LOVE my 6.0 powered brute. It's been a fantastic truck.
i just want to thank you for everything you do. I will be a full time RVer in the future!!!!
Thanks Brian! Here's to future adventures... 👍
Great tips! Glad to hear Seemore is doing better. Thank you!
Thank you for the review. I’m having the injector sticktion. Funny they made their own word to fit their products. Great review, very informative.
Wow, the "after" startup sounds good as new! It does my heart good to hear Seemore is feeling better. Looking forward to seeing him stretch his legs a bit!!!
Keep on truckin'!!!
Archoil is amazing it's unbelievable
Great results!
I've been using the AR6200 in my four cars (teens!) as well as the Lubrilon / Bishops Original treatments. I put on the miles as an Uber driver, and I've certainly noticed the engine response.
I remember the first time I tried the archoil fuel additive, it went in a 93 mercury grand marquis with 4.6 v8. I put it in the already full fuel tank, waited a few minutes and started the car. After it ran for about 20 seconds the engine just got really quiet. I never realized how much noise the injectors and valve train had been making, until it went away. I am absolutely sold on archoil. I put some of the oil additive in my brother's 05 6.0, it was starting really rough in the morning, smoking a lot etc. I put a bottle in the oil and idled the truck for a couple minutes. The next morning the truck started perfectly, and ran smoothly, no smoke.
There's lots of products out there. I've ALWAYS preferred Lucas oil treatment and had a Geo Tracker with 350,000 miles on it when I hubby changed the rubber in the engine. He said the engine looked brand spanking new and I wish I'd taken pictures. it was amazing. Just goes to show that if you take good care of a vehicle then she will take good care of you. I'd still have that Geo if I hadn't moved overseas and space was at a premium in the shipping container. it was a 1990. The motor rebuilt in 2003 and sold in 2005. It was still running strong last I heard. And diesels run longer than that from my experience. Hi to Christy and am looking forward to another loloho video. you guys are really fun to watch. Tfs
I've been using the ar6200 in my 6.4 powerstroke for a few years and it cured my injector tick that the 6.4 is known to have. Stuff is awesome. Also gain about 1 mpg per tank.
I'm really considering ordering these 2 additives for my 07 6.0. Thanks for the advice!
I just sold my 2000 7.3 with 203,000 miles. I have used both products for YEARS. The guy who bought the truck contacted me after he had an oil analysis done and he shared the results. I believe it was Blackstone who did the check. They said the engine was in amazing condition. I was religious about changing the oil every 5,000 miles, non-synthetic and adding the Archoil. I now have a 2021 6.7 and will continue to use the additive. It really does work.
Is it best to add this to non synthetic over synthetic?
Is this product reduces oil consumption in a motor?
Nooooooo@@wilfredoortiz3150
Non-synthetic two-stroke oil tablespoon for the 7.3 liter diesel is commonly used in the desert with high temperatures as the flash point at higher temperatures and the viscosity of diesel fuel..
I use StarTron and stanadyne fuel additive. I look forward to using archiol additive on a separate tank. But the issue is on the synthetic additives is a no-no for the early models before good quality synthetics were used. I can hear the crack in the explosion when the engine starts much louder possibly due to other unknown reasons.
I use that 3 &4 Valvoline break oil and Valvoline synthetic transmission fluid which is acceptable for older engines, red container. I've had no trouble with the transmission and check the filter and bottom a pan & had an external round magnet which is clear from debris.
I would like to hear if there's any synthetic compatible oils for the 7.3 l diesel which is not designed for any synthetics. Valvoline would be more trusted.
I've always enjoyed and learned a great deal from the videos you and your wife produce; I really appreciate you, young man. I'm very surprised and dismayed to learn of the "negative energy" out there...lots of underachieving, stressed out and jealous folks, upset with their own lousy lives. Please don't change anything. Maybe you should produce a video of how you and other CZcamsrs deal with the underachieving negative folks. I'm looking forward to more videos!
I would like to echo the results. I have a 2005 F50 with the V10 gas engine. I had a consistent 10 mpg prior to using AR9100. For the past three years my MPG has been 13 mpg. I have now over 110000 miles on the engine and just like this video, I have put the AR9100 in all my engines, transmissions and power steering. ( if it uses oil, I add this product )
They look great. I like the qualifier
I agree with Ben, MORE VIDEOS PLEASE! JC
My wife and myself love your videos. Please keep them coming. I'm a Ford truck fan since 1966. A little different today eh?
+Robert Davis Thanks! More to come. I'll try to do another truck video soon.
Thanks for the heads up.
I have the 7.3 International engine in my 96 F350 I use a fuel treatment called "Power Service" Great fuel additive. Give it a try. Will do some research on the oil treatment. Might have to give it a try.
I don’t know how I missed this video. I run the fuel additive and have run the oil additive in my 6.0 but I have a fear that the oil additive is going to mess something up. I have no evidence or tests, just a fear. Your videos are great and I loved the R2D2 bit. Made me laugh out loud.
I've noticed they run way better after a fresh oil change.
Thanks for your video.Our 6.0 sounded EXACTLY like yours in the before segment. I am now trying to find a dealer near our home on the Sunshine Coast,Canada to purchase the AR9100. Cant wait to get it in our old girl(390,799 kms) and buy her,and us, more time! Very grateful to you for posting the video of Seemore. Kindest regards,Bill and Kd (Sechelt,B.C., Canada)
+Kevin D Michels Sometimes on Amazon you can buy it directly from Archoil Inc (not sure if this works in Canada though). Lots of 6.0L owners have been made happy with this stuff! Good luck!
bc diesel sells it no problem
I’ve been using 6200 in my mack mp8 Diesel engine and never had problems with my injectors again.
I have a 2012 Dodge with the 6.7 . The last year before the Def started. Runs great but 16 mpg just the truck. Pulling 32 foot trailer 9.5 to 10 at best. I thought I would get more like 20-22 just truck and about 14 with camper. Love you videos, can't get on the road fast enough. Have a great time good luck with to remodeling job.
My luck! I just got an old change 2 days ago and didnt know about this. Next change I'm putting it in my '05 6 ltr. I will buy the diesel treatment tomorrow at Wally World!
Excellent information~thank you so much!
There you are! We miss you guys!!!!! More videos, please :) Hi to Kristy!!
Macy Rockefeller hi Macy! Kristy says hi! She has been working on our Airstream interior and will soon tell you all about it... :-)
Another additive that is made for diesel engines is sold at WallMart. It is pricey but easily obtainable. The name is MotorKote. Sold by the quarts and gallons, we have run this in our race car hauler when we lost an injector. Or we thought so. This stuff isn't snake oil, as the inventor says your money back if it doesn't work. But it does. Like LoLoHo said, works very quickly. Just a few driving minutes and your hooked.
Great video, as always. Thanks for all of your work. I was thinking of all your great Yellowstone videos as we recently towed our TT behind our 2003 6.0 Powerstroke from California -> Yellowstone ;) Question on this video: What oil do you run in your truck (and use with Archoil)? Synth or dino? Thanks!
Archoil now makes a diesel fuel system cleaner that claims to clean the turbo. I thought it seemed impossible, but I was so impressed with their other products that I gave it a try. My 6.0 had been down on power, blowing black smoke, the local diesel techs told me it was probably my vgt vanes sticking. The archoil product has Un stuck my turbo! I couldn't beleive it! It took the entire tank full to do it, but my truck is running great now!
Are you referring to the AR6500?
Archoil is the BEST.
Helps with power steering also.
This is rebranded zx1 extralube which is made in the UK and has been on sale for over 20 years. It has a NATO stock number too!
Wrong
Wow you put a lot of thought and time into this video! Thank you for your review!
P.S. Nice R2-D2 at the end haha
Almost. Too much. Sus.
This is an interesting perspective. CZcams is one of the few areas of life where actually doing more work and trying to put out a quality video can be punished (or viewed as suspect) in the marketplace. Sometimes I wish I did not care so much about producing quality content. Life would be much easier.
@@LongLongHoneymoon Only a fool does not take everything he hears on a platform like YT with at the very least a grain of salt. Don't get upset about that.
When I see a video like this I think "could be some guy telling it like it is, could be some guy telling it like he was paid too".
Since it is so important to your mental stability next time you wanna be 100% cleared of being suspect, consider starting the truck, adding the product, then showing the difference in 40 miles as you claimed. This can all be verified by showing the date and time as well as the obvious same day conditions. This wouldn't take long and would add considerable more verification to your claims. For all we know you rebuilt that entire motor for the results. This is coming from a guy who thinks oil companies are suspect for not addressing hyperlubes like this publicly to their customers. One engine can end any debate over hyperlubes. Oil lab results before then after hyperlubes...but no-one does that. Why? I don't know.
@@TonicofSonic man I am not upset at all. Are oil companies suspect? YES. Are "additive" companies suspect? YES. Are "influencers" suspect? HELL YES. My operating system is to trust no one, and always FOLLOW THE MONEY. 99% of what you are fed by the mainstream media and social media is bullshit.
Awesome! I have the archoil ar6200 and ar9100 for my 81 rabbit diesel, my 2002 excursion 7.3 and my tractor. I bought a brand new 2023 jeep grand cherokee the other day and I'm wondering if I can put AR9100in my oil right away or do I have to wait until the motor is broke in? Would seem like a friction modifier would affect proper break in?
Seemore butts. I just ordered this stuff for my 07 E 350. Major stiction
I have a 2000 Ford F-450 with 412,000 miles on it which has the 7.3 liter powerstroke diesel. I'm experiencing some stiction issue so I purchased a bottle of Archoil AR9100 and added it to my oil I just did an oil change on it with Rotella T5 15 w-40 and added the archoil within 100 miles after changing the oil. I'm doing the video on it to see what kind of improvements this provides. Keep an eye out for it, it should be coming to my channel soon.
Thanks, hope it works well for you!
I'm glad it worked for you. This is the first I've heard of that brand. Every now and then I'll hear an add for hotshot secret stiction eliminator. Have never tried it myself. As for a lubricant the Truck drivers seem to swear by Motor Kote. Again I have never used them myself. Although someday when I'm ready to spend the extra money I'm thinking about adding some Motor Kote when I get an oil change!If you happen to use either product please let us know how they work. Oh and the Motor Kote also sells some stuff in a spray that they claim is good for hinges and such.
T Ritchie Thanks, I will check out Motor Kote. I have tried different fuel additives (Sea Foam, cetane boost, Techron, etc.) over the years. Often they have been disappointing, or at least uninspiring. Archoil is the first that has delivered "wow!" results for me.
If it delivers the best results you have ever gotten I don't blame you for being impressed.
no just that.... are you ready for what I am about to tell you???... the people that came out with archoil, in particular the friction modifier, they won a Nobel Prize for it.
And just so you know, you can also add this to any power steering system... maaaannn does it works!!
PhuckObama do you have a Powerstroke?
Obama got that same prize for carpet bombing the middle east. Bad example.
Everything he said was what I've experienced, gain 4 mpg and starts and runs better, well worth the 45.99!!
I have a bullet proof oil cooler. With that said I wonder if I need two whole bottles? I have a 5 gallon system.
Did you do both at the same time, and therefore making it hard to determine what each product did?
thanks for sharing.
Since the improvement was so drastic im thinking the additive helped the turbo spin easier maybe.
I put an additive(not this stuff ) in tbe oil of my honda fit and i DROPPED 3 mpg because it made the oil thicker.
I watched your generator vid when you said the gen doesnt put out as much oower when really hot. Maybe try sitting a fan in front of it. It keeps me from overheating training on the spin bike!
64maxpower You make a good point about keeping the generator cool. We've thought about making a custom cover for it (like an umbrella shade). With regard to the Archoil, the AR9100 seems to have unique benefits with the Ford 6.0L diesel. I'm no diesel mechanic, but I believe it has to do with the engine's high pressure oil system. AR9100 really helps injectors to perform. I've been putting it into our other vehicles and I think I am seeing benefits (but they are not nearly as obvious as with our truck).
Good information, too bad I have since sold my 2005 F-350 6.0 Diesel! My friend in Arizona has a 2500 Chevy Duramax diesel and has had good luck with Redline Diesel Fuel Catalyst which is also available on Amazon and sold in stores. He noticed similar improvements for his 2002 Chevy with better fuel mileage and smoother running, and very little smoke! Just a suggestion. Thanks.
Sean I wonder if you can comment on Archoil changing the formulation of the Fuel Additive? It now take a ml per gallon. Is there a reason other than selling more watered down Archoil?
What was your oil change AND FILTER regime before archoil ar9100 helped you?
I think i might try this on my 91 f350 7.5 460. 12 mpg right now would be cool and a blessing. Lol. Just got this truck to pull a 28ft gulfstream. With a 410 gear. We are going to need all the fuel help possible.
In all the money you're gonna spend on gas you could have bought a diesel lol
My truck misses exactly the same way at startup I’m gonna order this and run it tomorrow see any difference I’ll update
2004 6.0 f250
Thanks for the tip. A quick check on the internet only pulls up info related to the 6 point OH. We have an F150 5.3 and I can't find anything specific to that. Any ideas? Love your 6 point OHHHHHHH (for Fred West...)
Jim Pratt LOL - Thank you for that 6 point OHHHHHHH reference, it made my day. With regard to your 5 point THREEEEE, I am less confident you would see the same kind of benefits. For our diesel truck, the AR9100 delivered a fantastic and almost immediate improvement. Not only has is our truck starting and running better, fuel economy has improved more than 35%. So for us, the treatment is sort of paying for itself. But our truck was suffering with a bad case of the infamous "stiction" issues. Your 5.3 truck may not need it like ours did! You may want to try the AR6200 fuel treatment. At the moment I am putting both products in all of our vehicles, though frankly I'm not as certain of the benefits in gas engines. But the impact on SEEMORE was so dramatic that I know this stuff works.
im using the AR6200 in my gas tank of my 2008 Ford Focus (north american model - 2.0L duratec gas ) and no problems thus far. And i know we all want / hope the product we put in the gas is doing something. But i swear the car has less (tickity on startup ) and somhow has a little more pep once rolling along. Could be wishful thinking. i can tell you this , my fuel mileage has not suffered so far.
How often do you use it in your oil and fill up on diesel?
I have a F250 gas burner 6.2L. Will it work in that engine?
I purchased a 99 7.3 that would not start 50 degrees or below. I have always put a bottle of something in the tank every fill up. Usually STP in a yellow bottle because That is what Sunoco sells at their convenient stores. But I have used crc Techron mystery oil standyne
Ford additive and I have forgot some. The truck 100k miles later will start most recently at 10 degrees altho not happy it will start.250000 miles on the clock and the most bang for the buck is the marvel mystery oil cheap and adds more volatility to the fuel makes truck operate smooth and gives the truck a pick me up. When I run s tank of fuel with nothing added I get reminded how sluggish the 7.3 is on straight diesel.
I wonder if I could/should add it to my Motorhome (Diesel). Not having any issues, but it could be used as a preventative measure?
yescandles Well, that's why I added it to our other engines. This stuff actually works in both gas and diesel engines. It's just that the results with our diesel 6.0L engine have been particularly impressive. I thought we needed new injectors ($$$) before I added the Archoil.
6200 says it's a fuel additive should I use the 6500 made specifically for diesel trucks I have the exact same truck
How has it worked in your transmission?
you want know how much its doing till it breaks i been research cause i got a 96 7.3 after seeing the test i am not going to use the friction mod its a big wast of money
Thanks
Question: Does the AR9100 work for oil treatment in gas engine vehicles also, or is there another product for that? Thanks -- enjoying your channel!
+Mike Salsgiver According to Archoil's website it does.
Archoil products are top tier 364 k on my E-Series 6.0 diesel
Were have you been , I like you guys videos not enough of them , what up lol !!
More on the way! We will try to post more vids this summer...
@Long Long Honeymoon My F-250 is a bit older than yours and I'm stuck with the Navistar T444E engine (7.3 L) with only 300K miles. ;-) I have an oil change coming up and might try an additive this time after doing some more research. Thanks for doing the video!
John Norris Navistar designed our 6.0L as well, but I think your model has enjoyed much better longevity. Our 6.0L was a redesign intended to meet the latest emission requirements (and ironically, that environmental apparatus is what causes 6.0L engines to suffer catastrophic failures). I think you would benefit from AR6100 in your fuel, because most modern fuels are mediocre. As for the oil additive, it worked wonders on our ailing 6.0L. If you do decide to try these products, be sure to check your MPG before and after. I will be interested to hear from viewers who try this stuff.
Long Long Honeymoon Will do.
+Long Long Honeymoon Hey there! I purchased the AR6100 and AR9100 for my truck on its last oil change. I was experiencing some periodic injector stiction prior to the maintenance and behold it has gone away and not returned!
My truck was getting between 10-12 MPG (city) before the ArchOil additives and on its last fill up the result was just under 15 MPG. I've not done any long distance highway driving lately but I am expecting to see something around 20+ MPG. It seems to get more low-end power and sounds like it is running more smoothly to boot.
Thanks again for the video.
PS - I used your Amazon links to get both products. :-)
Hey John, thanks much for your post and for buying your Archoil through our Amazon links. By the way, note that when buying through our links on Amazon, you can specify the Amazon seller as "Archoil, Inc." which is fulfilled by Amazon. That's the way I will be buying all of ours in the future. I'm glad to hear that Archoil is working out for you! For our 6.0L it was like getting a thorough tuneup - I was amazed at the difference after adding Archoil. If you consider the improvement in MPG, the stuff kind of pays for itself. Cheers
So do you have a home bace?
OK. I drank the cool aide. Bought both the Archoil 6100 and 9200. I really hope it works. It's cold outside and my truck is running really really rough and it's giving me ulcer. I really don't want to buy new injectors.
How will that work in a ToyotaTacoma truck 4 door pick up? I'm just asking. Thanks for the information
I use it in my tundra and the head looks brand new inside. Keeps it clean. No gumming or burning at all. 1 ounce in power steering. 3 ounces in transmission. Can't beat it. Lawn mower too.
where is this place you are driving in? this place looks beautiful!
Is Archoil sold in Canada?
i think you mean the 6.idontstartinthewinter, still my favorite diesel engine though
+me2456 lol that is an accurate name too 👍
Long Long Honeymoon i saw your other video on seemore being sick cause im stalking XD i left info on it on where to call for help on it!
Bill Hewitt from Powerstrokehelp.com has been talking about the Archoil improvments as well. I remember you saying what year your 6.0 was and now hearing a 2007 you may have gotten the best of 6.0 line at least you don't have a 6.4 or what ever the next one was which teh MPG sucked.
One question did you change oil before you added the archoil or not? I know the way bill does is they change oil and then add the archoil so Its hard to tell if it the archoil doing the trick or the changing of the oil or both.. Also do you use the T-6/5 or regular 15w40 rotella. Most guys have switched to a 5w40 or 10w30 rotella and the engines are loving it..
I got a 2003 7.3L and have been doing some upgrades. If you have time check oiut the ford truck enthusiasts site for a lot of good info. www.ford-trucks.com/
have a good one, hope to see you on the road..
if you make it to the raleigh nc area give me a ring chimneykeeper.com is my company.
+Absolute Best Carpet Care Yes, I change the oil before adding Archoil. I'm currently running 10w30 Rotella T. I'm certain it's the Archoil boosting our fuel economy, but I think the best results come from using both the oil & the fuel additive. Since posting this video, our fuel economy has actually increased even more! Recently we've been getting around 16 MPG (sometimes 17 or 18) when not towing. I haven't done all the math just yet, but I feel that the Archoil pretty much pays for itself due to the fuel economy boost. I need to do a follow up video. Overall I'm VERY pleased with the MPG; however, the truck is still often sputtering at startup on cold mornings. Once it warms up, it's fine.
Since additives do not repair things,did you asked yourself why the injectors are sticky ?
As i know those injectors are oil actuated ,right ?
So you can point your finger at the engine oil you use,its interval replacement ,or the fuel and its quality.
Yep they are HEUI injectors and stiction is not avoidable, even if you do real early oil changes or synthetic 15 40, they will stick on the hydraulic side of the injectors. That's why they don't use HEUI anyone lol
Cool drone filming.
jarlsbergosten Thanks for noticing! The Loloho drone will be flying high in August.
Long Long Honeymoon A video about your drone usage would be cool too!
My wife says War Eagle (I say Roll Tide) ;-)
compared to hotshots?
you also need to use a good5/40 oil like Schaeffer or mag 1.
Do you like Rotella T?
It just ok in my book. Go to powerstroke help.com and see what he says about Schaeffer. I get good fuel economy with that and mag 1 but they are a little hard to get. Worth it though.
+Long Long Honeymoon I literally just put Rotella 15-40 in my truck and it has cause injector stiction real bad. Is it coincidentally. . I don't know.
My truck's due for an oil change pretty soon. I'll see if I can get my hands on some Schaeffer.
I've had good results from Cempeco
Is this before or after you did the bulletproofing?
Both. Still using Archoil products 👍
I would like to know if your still using this after the bullet proofing of Seymour?
Yes, I'm trying to do everything within reason to extend the longevity of our new injectors. I am continuing to use several Archoil products now.
Lol, add engine oil additive in your ATF?
On a serious note, I mentioned Bill Hewitt of powerstrokehelp and you talked about wanting to do possible a collab. video, if he were interested. Anything come of that?
Sadly, no... I sent Bill a message and called his office leaving a voicemail, but never heard back. Too bad because I would love to have his shop handling the EGR delete. It would be a great video too.
make sure if you do anything to the EGR that you do not completely delete it but rather get the bulletproof diesel EGR, which is much much better than the ford factory one. A delete can cause the check engine light to come on especially if the software is ever updated in the trucks computer.
Bro, my truck has 227893 miles on it. I bought when it had only 75k miles. I haven’t had any problems with it. I was reading online about arch oil someone had recommended for longevity of the engine. So I’m here to see what you have to say. But my truck has no problems. I hear people say 6.0 has problems. Not sure how true that is…
Friction modifiers should NOT be used in Automatic transmissions. The clutches rely on friction to function. Ltd Slip differentials should not use friction modifiers as well.
Yea, I wouldn't want that stuff in the tranny when it's trying to shift pulling a heavy load up a grade. Seems to work well in the engine oil though!
Hot shot stiction eliminator is another product that I have direct experience with and it works (assuming no mechanical failures). It can be found at many Tractor Supply stores. I've not heard of Archoil, but if you tried it and like it enough to recommend it then it must be good.... Will you be traveling to Georgia in the future?
Kevin Thomas I've heard adds on the radio for hotshot but never used it. I don't own a diesel so I've not needed it yet. I am thinking about giving Motor Kote a try cause the Truck drivers I hear on the radio seem to like it real well. I work 2nd shift so its ether listen to the Truckdriveing network or coast to coast.I guess I'm a bit of a talk radio junkie and I actually enjoy listing to the Truck driving network even though I've never drove anything bigger than a Ryder moving truck.Personal use not Professional. Anyway do you have any experience with Motor Kote? Can you elaborate on your experience with hotshot?
I have 04 f550 6.0 with those same issues. I used that Hot shot n let me tell you, it was like night and day! It works great for me. Only mistake I made is that my first time buying it I got from the Ford dealer for 100 bucks! Then I found it at auto zone for $49.....
MrThree1zero I am not familiar with Hot Shot; maybe it works in similar fashion to Archoil. But if you have a 6.0L, you gotta try the Archoil. I can't believe the improvement to our truck. It went from being a loud sputtering mess to running smoothly like it did when it was new.
I like reading about 2 different products that do the same thing and apparently do it well. In my opinion that's good for the consumer.
T Ritchie I agree, competition is good for the consumer. With that said, I've tried a few different additives (Sea Foam, cetane boost, etc.) and Archoil has worked the best for me. The others left me guessing as to their effectiveness.
Interestingly enough, we also have a 6.0L F250. Ours has 159K on it now, unfortunately, all of it is not towing... I have experienced difficult cranking in cold weather, and found that other fuel treatments have helped - I will check out the AR9100 oil modifier this winter. Was curious about your around town MPG - was that towing or not? I get around 15 - 17 mpg depending on how conservatively I drive.
I have been happy with the F250 - minimal issues for the last eight years and 159K miles! However, we do expect our Ford vehicles will run a loooooong time (last E350 van had 260K when I traded it over my wife's protests, and current '05 E350 has over 260K non-gentle miles on it.
Keep up the good work - I enjoy your videos!
Thanks. We bought our 6.0L F250 in 2007 and now have around 111k on the odometer. Have you had any issues with the EGR? That is the weakness in our engines. I also hope and expect our truck to provide many more years of service. We now also are getting 15-17 MPG in non-tow driving. Archoil has vastly improved our fuel economy, though we still have issues with rough/noisy starts on cold mornings.
We have not had any EGR issues yet - knock on wood. The truck has held up well - I have had success with large Ford vehicles. I will give Archoil a try this year for the cold weather. Hope to cut down the warm-up time - accelerating on the road is quite exciting if the truck is not warmed up!
Ha! I know exactly what you mean about accelerating with a cold 6.0L engine. Our truck is incredibly LOUD when it's warming up, too. I like the sound of a diesel engine, but when it's cold our truck makes the average 18-wheeler sound docile.
+Long Long Honeymoon
I finally bit the bullet and purchased both Archoil AR9100 for the oil and AR6200 for the fuel yesterday. Difference was amazing, and this morning, was able to back uphill out of our driveway immediately after cranking (no warmup) with no roughness, miss firing, etc. Even though the temperature was in the high 50s, I have not been able to do that for a couple of months. I am curious to see what will happen when the temperature drops again.
So for a 6.7L that calls for 13quarts. You add the Archoil additive on top of the 13 quarts??
+BengyM if its good on the dipstick then yes
+Nicks Customs thanks for your response. I read that using Archoil could lower the oil's viscosity and actually do harm. Could you shed some light on that??
BengyM Yeah I'm not sure about that..
1.2 ounces per quart of oil.
Unfortunately they all have problems with the emissions systems on the “ new” diesels .i will be giving Archoil a try on my 6.7 that already had problems with the DPF @28000 miles.
Just delete that shit.
+Fred West Cut Sean some slack. He's just now now gotten around to using Archoil. He doesn't wrench on his engine the way some of us do, thus doesn't speak the koine vernacular. However, when he does a video on installing studs, welding the EGR cooler, upgrades to the blue fuel spring, 6.4 banjo bolts and installs FICM, TCM/ECM tunes, I'll be really impressed....and his wife won't be worried about whether the truck is going to die out in BFE somewhere.
+rts The funny thing is, if I said "six liter" then some yahoo would complain about me being imprecise in my language. (I can see it now: "WHICH SIX LITER FORD??!!). And by the way, once you guys start posting your own 20-minute long videos that involve hundreds of cuts, at least six different cameras, a dozen lenses, a couple of drones, gimbal stabilizers, several GB of source material combining three or four different video codecs, quality XLR audio, picture-in-picture graphics, with music, sound effects, and additional dialogue recording, then I'LL be really impressed. Bonus points if you edit it all on a laptop. :D All in good fun! Cheers
Simmer down, mister. We know you have skills. Just ribbing ya a little.
PS- I might take you up on making vids. How hard can it be? LoL
No worries, I am just pushing back in good fun. We all bring different skillsets to the table. The difference is that I don't stand at the engine bay and ridicule my mechanic friend's choice of wrench. :-) With regard to making videos, I hope you start! (I'd like to see Fred do the same.) As a debut vid, may I suggest an EGR delete walkthrough (on a 6.0L of course). Cheers
Oh - run a half a quart of 2 stoke oil with ever fill up in your diesel fuel too
What will this accomplish ? (I'm interested ...)
I use ar9100 in everything I own that has a combustion engine. Enjoy the savings everyone. This is mechanic in a bottle folks.
I have 06 F350 single wheel King ranch with 6.0L I run this with the Rotella T6 and its great stuff. I do my oil changes about 8000 mile now.. I also keep up with powerstroke help .com he really knows what he doing.. Just my input thanks
well id still do it at 5000 miles, also you should make some videos on the truck from your pictures it looks amazing
Oil can last that long, but oil gets dirty even though it's filtered. The filtration process isn't perfect. I try to change my oil before it turns dark.
I find it weird that there are no boundary fences/walls around properties there, like your backyard is completely open and accessible from all sides...
new subscriber here, Im about to buy a used truck for towing a travel trailer no more than 25 ft, my question is... if ford trucks have so many problems why are they the best?
Im traveling alone and dont need problems breaking down. what about Toyota trucks?
+HappyHigh There were teething issues when the federal gov't mandated new very strict diesel emission standards. Every manufacturer had to scramble to meet them. International-Navistar up until the 6.7 made the Powerstroke for Ford, now they make their own in-house. Cummins makes diesel engines for Dodge Ram's, and Isuzu makes the Duramax for GM. The 6.0 Powerstroke can be a great engine if the proper maintenance and modifications are made to them to "bulletproof" them. The older 7.3's didn't have any of these problems. Check out Powerstrokehelp youtube channel and website for more information.
They are in alabama
Wow I forgot about this comment
It will add lubricity to the fuel side of the injectors -
Thanks, I will try it today.
