5% used oil.

 

The CP3 and injectors is the big difference between the 3rd gen vs the 1st/2nd gen fueling systems.

I've been running 2-stroke for about 5.5 yrs now in my 02 and 06 trucks with no problems. The trucks seem happier.

So about 2qrts per fill?

OK, but here is my next question. Since Alaska only has two seasons (4th of July and Winter!), and it was 19 degrees yesterday morning, will 2-stroke in my '06 CR change the pour-point or anything else that might keep it from working in the filter, rail, or anything else? Remember, it gets down to -60 degrees here. On days like that it is not the time to find out that your truck won't start!

 

I assume your using an anti-gel when you fuel? Here in Colorado I used 2-stroke with stanadyne and had no issues. The coldest it got was -20. I would say it should be fine.

 

I started that monster thread over at CF now known as Communist Forum about using 2 stroke oil as a diesel additive. As of now, I've used 2 stroke oil SOLELY as an additive year round for almost 3.5 years. It gets cold here in northern Illinois in the winter.......I've never had a gelling problem at all. For you guys in cold climates and are worried, think about this...........how in the heck to snow mobiles run in below zero temps????? Those are almost all oil injected 2 strokes now........that 2 stroke oil had better flow at real cold temps, or there'll be a lot of unhappy snow mobilers out there!!!!


On a scientific note, 2 stroke oil actually has a lower pour point the ULSD.........so it only makes sense that when added to diesel (even the small amounts we use proportionally) it has to lower the pour point of ULSD. I've driven in temps as low as -20F with nothing in my fuel tank but ULSD and 2 stroke..........no antigel, cold flow garbage etc. I will admit however that I do keep a can of PS 911 in truck in the winter. I was a boy scout!!!

 

Regular 2 stroke is good to -40. I use the Castrol stuff and it says that right on the bottle.

 

Good to -40 isn't the same as -60 to -70. I kid you not, we will get a -60 spell that lasts 2-3 weeks in the Alaskan Interior. Is there anything that we know of that will handle that sort of climate?

Thanks for the pour-point info on 2-stroke/ULSD, dorkweed. That is good to know.

Do any of you utilize 2-stroke in conjuction with an Airdog or FASS system? Has anyone heard of or had any issues with this? I can't afford to be messing up anything I throw at my truck. Thanks guy!

 

My 02 had a FASS and I had no issues! It actually quieted it down!

 

Buckshot, when you say "quieted it down", are you refering to the engine and its' combustion cycle, or your fuel pump. I've never owned a VP44 equipped diesel, and I know that the VP44 had problems, but I'm not sure if being noisy was one of them. Did it remove the diesel "rattle", or something else? The valve train noise, maybe?

 

Both! The FASS has a tendency to be a little noise, it got rid of alot of that noise and it smoothed out the rattle of the 24v. The 24v seems to have a "tinney" rattle to it (best way I know how to describe). The 2-stroke makes it sound like a well tuned engine, smooth rattle.
