You suck!

I haven't checked mine, but I have noticed the last couple mornings when I jump in and take right off, I do still have a very SLIGHT miss when I get up into OD. Mind you, it is NO WHERE NEAR what it used to be, I couldn't even drive the truck before, so I can definitely deal with this. Rev-X has definitely been a major improvement and I will for sure buy some refills next oil change.

I do have 285-75-16s that measure right at 32.5 in, which helps a bit. Its the sensible driving I have a hard time with!

I've got 275/70/18's so we're not that far off. When's the last time you had a reflash on the truck? You might have one of the older flashes that actually got good mileage haha. I can't wait to see how the truck runs when the temps go down again in upstate NY with the Rev-X in.

I havnt had it flashed since I've had it, so almost 4yrs. I've had much better milage with the extreme race on it. But like I said sensible driving, Yeah right!! I'm forced to go easy for a while, I managed to break a main leaf on the rear. Go figure.

So Sunsetsky how does this stuff work for the 7.3l or is just more 6.0l thang? I might give it a try just to see if I notice anything stuff seems kinda pricey at first but if it works out good it may be worth it.

It works with a 7.3L too! The reason for this test was to see how it worked specifically on the 6.0L Fords in relation to the cold start/sticking issues you hear about so often.

We made a page with an application guide with a diagram and info on the areas of use for Rev-X on trucks, and they also make a fuel additive called Distance+ .

Here is a link to the diagram:

Rev-X Application Guide | RevX Performance Oil Additive http://www.blackclouddiesel.com

You can give us a call if you have any questions, too, at 715-824-5051.

Just as another shout-out...

I was sent two bottles of Rev-X for the trial.

I poured them in, and ran the truck pretty hard. The next morning, it started like when it was new. A week later I changed oils to a synthetic, and the truck's been running like a top ever since. I really want to try it on my 7.3!

I have been dealing with problems with the Edge CTS Evolution for the last 2 weeks also. I need to put some more miles on it so I can do an oil change and have a Blackstone report on the Rev-X with some miles on it.
