rev x works good. seems to start and run better when cold, idles a little quieter. not sure about the milage since i have nothing to go off of now for a base line. new computer and rev x all on the same tank makes it impossible for me to say where i gained milage or not. sofar i am happy with the product.

All rite! You guys may remember that I had been refered to use rev-x by my diesel mechanic due to sticking injectors. It worked very well and I saw an increase in fuel mileage as well. Good Deal!!! Since then I have had a buddy use it in a 5.9 Cummins and I have picked up a 99 7.3 that I have used it in as well. In short I thought it worked good in my truck, However, it worked awesome in petes Cummins! That truck has been transformed into something I might consider buying. It now runs - Smooth and is a hell of a lot quieter than any Cummins I have heard. He HAS picked up power rite off of idle on up and has seen a little increase in mileage (he rods the hell out of it so it's hard to see just what). I've been around for the better part of sixty years and have not ever seen a product short of a new vehicle that can change the way a vehicle work quite like this product. It is now in just about everything I own and I have seen great results just the same.

I used the first batch I got from you, and it "wore off" if you will before I was even due for another oil change. (5k miles for oil change). It worked awesome when I first put it in though. Not sure it's worth $65 or whatever for 8oz of it, when it wont even last an oil change. Just my thoughts. I will probably try buying a single bottle of it now to throw in since I just did an oil change. It was really nice when it was working! I asked a few others and no one else has really said they saw this though, so it might just be my truck.

Mdub Maybe it has Something to do with your WVO? Have you checked to compare results with guuys running the same set up?

It worked on my truck for a long time, i think it even cleaned some gunk out of my already broken stc sitting and made me finally find a hidden problem and now it's fixed and better than new

I will most likely be putting in a bottle or 2 for the upcoming cold months

I wasd running #2 the entire time. By the time I started running the WVO, the stuff had already wore off. The WVO actually helps the thing run much smoother. It's far more lubricative than diesel is. The injection noise is almost completely gone on WVO, rolling up to a stop sign it sounds like the truck is off other than turbo whistle.

Default Cold Start and Rough driving when engine is cold

I have a 2006 F250 and have been having trouble starting truck. It always starts, but takes a very long time to finally turn over. The truck also has trouble keeping up with itself (no power) until the engine gets up to full operating temp The transmission also seems like it doesn't want to shift as well until the truck heats up. Once truck is hot and up to temp (takes about 30 miles of driving) the truck runs perfect and will start right up. Ford wants to charge $1800 to replace the HOP (high pressure oil pump), but can't guarantee that is the problem. Since I just spent $1700 at ford to fix the problem and they replaced the FICM which didn't fix my problem I a very apprehensive to give them any more of my $$$$. Anyone who has had this problem PLEASE HELP!!!!

I put Rev-x in last year and it completely cured my injector problems. The symptoms just started showing up again, though. I am happy that it helped out for a year.
