Pulled all 4 injectors out on driver's side and I found that #6 injector came apart, this is the second time I have had this happen, it happened to #2 the first time. There is a tiny bolt and nut that holds the mag cups/that is what I call them/ to the injector, right under the wires that go to top of injector, it uses a T10 torx and a 4mm socket. The nut just came off causing the dead miss, I think the 2 stroke thing is when the nut was just loose and the injector kinda worked but not great. I cleaned up the bolt and that area with brakeclean the I aplied red locktite to the threads and put it back together and it has ran great after putting it back together, no more truck loping or rocking back and forth on start up. I also installed the blue fuel spring at same time which couldn't hurt but the injector was the cause of the problem. My truck was made in 8-03 so they might have had a bad batch of injectors around then. I would get 8 oring kits and check it out, Sounds like I was lucky and found the nut both times sitting on the head, A Ford tech told me he has seen quite a few like that but sometimes they don't find the nut. Kinda takes some time to do the job but for $40/that includes orings for both sides/ one of the least exspensive repairs that can be done on your 6.0.

The Evergreen is OK but I don't think it acts as fast as Revex, I had another issue going on so I can't tell you for sure how good it was as soon as I put it in but now the truck starts better than it has in a long while.
Interesting on the injectors. Can't say I've really seen that either.

As for the evergreen, it's supposed to be even better than rev-x, since the molecular level of the make-up is actually smaller in size than the rev-x, but who knows. I'm willing to give it a shot. Especially at the cost difference.

I can't believe no one has really come up with their own blend of "rev-x" yet anyways. Seems like someone could concoct something haha.

I already ordered the REV-X but ill try the evergreen with the blue. My wife will be left to keep the truck up while im gone. Im going to leave her a BOOK to go by because im very picky haha

The FICM was over 48V while running also
Valvoline premium blue 5w-40 synthetic. Yep, motorcraft/international/fram oil filter, they're all the same.
