Can you get injectors Cleaned?
 
I have a 2004 6.0 f350 104000 truck was running fine,but changed oil and fuel filters and it started to run really bad so I took it to the shop and they said #1 and #4 cylinders are weak(-30 and -35) it showed on the computer at the shop they had it hooked up to.So is their anything I can do,or can I run something threw it.
Thanks

Hot Shot's Secret

best stuff ive found. Got two of my injectors workin again, and if it doesnt they refund your money. Its probably stication. Do you keep up with the mant. on this truck. The 6.0s are very picky.

^^^^^^^ What he said.

Keep the oil changed - the injection system likes clean oil!

skip59 08-23-2009 09:30 PM

Yes,I change oil around 12,000 to 14,000 and fuel filters about every 20,000 I use rotella 15/40 and lucas oil add. is this ok or should I use or do something different.

Iam sorry thanks and what is that stuff and were can I get it,I hate to have to replace injectors,Its so really weird when I changed oil and fuel filters this all started?

04redstroker 08-23-2009 09:40 PM

Thats a pretty long interval inbetween oil changes. I never go more 5000. The 6.0 isnt like the old diesel, there very picky with their oil. You also might wanna try running a lighter oil, 10/40. I run 15/40 mystic JT-8 without problems but some people say to run lighter, especially in colder climates. Just click on the link and itll take you to theire site.

Thanks Red Stroker,Do you think what you said early might help me about that stication

04redstroker 08-23-2009 09:53 PM

I would try the hot shot. If doesnt work, they refund your money, so why not. Its worth a shot to try and keep from replacing inj.

skip59 08-23-2009 09:55 PM

Thanks again for your held........Iwill try that and get back to you.

Big Angry Hillbilly 08-24-2009 07:15 PM

Yeah, like someone else said, you are running your oil WAY too long.

Dino I run for 3k miles, syn i run for 5k miles.

skip59 08-24-2009 07:42 PM

Thanks Big Angry Hillbilly, I will do that in the future..3k

I change my oil every 6500 to 7500 miles and every second oil change I do the fuel and trans. filters. I was told by the mech who fixed my trans on a trip that the trans likes clean filters too.

I am not a spokesperson for there product in any way.....
my 6.0 was a tired oilfield truck that showed 134k on the odo and had over 6500 engine hours when i bought it I drove it and changed my oil religiously every 5000k and i have stiction issues at 165k ..... after 2000kms after adding hotshot secret to my motorcraft 10w30 oil change with oem filters same oil i have used since i bought my truck my stiction is almost non exsistant.......

that is my 2 cents

saw a spot for that on truck u today and became interested. I BUY TOO

What is this stiction y'all speak of? Sticking injectors? A chemical? Please inform me.

Mdub707 10-02-2010 10:48 AM

Stiction is like the initial friction between two objects. Think about a tire spinning on pavement. At first it takes a lot more power to break it loose, but once it's spinning, it's easier to keep it there. That initial "friction" is referred to as stiction between two objects. I'm not sure if it's the correct terminology to be using for an injector, but it's easy to understand.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiction
Anyways, our injectors in these 6.0's do tend to get "sticky" as some people call it. The best product that I know of to rid this is Rev-X. Ask anyone who has used it. I have and it's literally like a miracle in a bottle.

Another observation I'd like to add... a fuel injector cleaner or anything that goes into the fuel system, isn't really going to take care of this. It's the oil side of the injector, so a good oil additive, good clean oil, and regular change intervals are all vital to the 6.0's injector performance.

I went every 5,000 miles for an oil change and changed the fuel filter every 10,000.
