hey dozerboy how has it been running since you started

I add 1 qt. per fuel-up, (20-25gal.) The color of the 2 cycle I use is blue so when I drain my water separator the fuel comes out green.:yeah:looks weird:yeah:

Would it come out purple if I used it with red dye fuel?

Good my mileage is better which could just be from the engine breaking in. My truck was also "dieseling" often when I would start it up before, but that could be from a EGR problem or the additive I was using. I use the Wally World stuff, but might quit using it and try 0.5%-2% Bio for a while and some other additives.

Not sure Id run it in one of the newer third gens though.

I've found out the hard way that some third gens don't like 2 cycle oil. Some lose fuel mileage (4 mpg loss has been reported) and some have injector problems even when using 16 oz per 34 gallons. I even hear from one guy who has a 2007 that had problems after using Opti Lube and it was rated up near the top for adding lube to the fuel system for the older engines. But I can say I've read a lot of post that 2 cycle oil work great for most 2005 and older trucks but its hit and miss for 2006 and up trucks.
