Default Rev_X has made substantial difference

My truck is running perfectly since using REV-X. I wanted to provide follow up as REV-X was gracious enough to provide free product for the test and REV-X did resolve the problems I was having. Since pouring two containers of REV-X into my truck all the issues I've spent a lot of money on to fix have been resolved. Fuel economy has settled at a .8 mpg increase but most importantly my truck is running great. I am hoping for continued increase in fuel economy but time will tell. I will be adding REV-X every oil change and highly recommend it to anyone with cold start or start issues.
Thank you

i recommend it to anyone with a 6.0 period. i think that if this product can prevent the hard cold starts and rough riding it can help engine and parts life and thats y everyone that i know that owns a 6.0 is gettin some. they have said they are gunna start ordering come their next oil change

I changed my oil today. I ended up using Rotella since it was the same cost as the motorcraft at the local place here, and I have used it in the past and liked it. I will note that even though I made the switch from motorcraft to rotella on this last change, I have used the Rotella before and still had these issues I have now, so this oil is not what effected anything, however the Rev X on the other hand...... Wow. Just putting it in and turning the key I noticed in a very short time that the engine idled smoother, and quieter. It was very warm here today (in the high 70's) so the motor never really got cold even sitting for a few hours, but I had NONE of the issues I was having before, no more stuttering, no more engine break-up that I could hear out my stacks... nothing, just smooth and easy running truck. I was really looking forward to letting it sit overnight and starting it up in the morning and just taking off, BUT I had to drop it off at my buddies house and swap trucks with him as I will be doing some work on his 6.0 for him tomorrow. He, however, is in for a treat when he realizes how nice my truck runs now, I bet he will be putting in an order for some Rev X tomorrow...

It's going to be hard for me to do a good test of fuel mileage though since I do a ton of different driving and I have been switching between ULSD #2, and LSD #1 red dye stuff periodically depending on availability. Just from hearing the motor running so much easier today, I bet it will go up though. I will just test it this week and see what I get for fun.

Thanks to Sunsetsky for the opportunity to try out the Rev X, you made a believer out of me.

We've got all the guys for the test survey, but if you call and order some we can probably give you a discount, mention this and Diesel Bombers.

Nope, not what we're doing here.

Yup, that's what we had in mind--seeing Rev-X helping your trucks out!

I hear ya! I am exactly the same way--dragged my feet on starting this test until we had enough preliminary results across the board to say, yes, cuz we were seeing really good feedback from other applications.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Wow, you guys, I really appreciate all the feedback so far! I'm excited that it's making a big difference for so many of you. Thanks for posting up! If you haven't posted yet, and are trying the Rev-X, please post up any questions and/or observations, so we can be sure we're hearing from all of you, and how and what it's making a difference on.

wow! got this stuff about a week ago and finally got around to putting it in today. I put it in and let it idle for about 10-15 minutes to let it circulate, drove around the block, and then set off on a 200+- mile trip. The results were great. Usually after a long trip like that the truck will idle rough when I get to a red light or stop sign, but not today. It idled alot smoother and seemed like it had a little more pickup. Definately didn't experience any problems with it. It didn't totally cure the whole "cold start" issue, i think its injector related, but it definately helped. Overall, i was very happy with the product. Thanks for the opportunity to try it and if the truck keeps running like it does now I will definately be purchasing this product next time around.

Well I haven't been on for about a week, between nice weather and my daughter graduating from college. I have about 1000mi since I put the Rev-X in, still awesome. I haven't been able to check MPG, I am still romping on it. I will be going on a road trip later this week so I'll check it then.
This stuff has made me a believer, I will be using at every oil change!

Same here. My starting seems to be about the same, no noticeable change there, though it never started hard I wouldn't say, but just idling and driving it before it is fully warmed up is a huge difference. I too will be ordering some for next oil changes.
