I'm not sure whether your post is a question or a statement

Lucas is probably the best of the snake oils on the shelf. I don't run any of them in my truck. I mean what are we treating the fuel for does it have a disease? If you want to run it it won't hurt any thing but it probably won't help ether.

I don't know. Some people run 2 stroke oil in them. If they are dirty enough to need cleaned I would say they are bad.

personally i wouldn't run anything in it other than diesel fuel, but any of the stuff out there will clean injectors, Powerservice, Howe's, Standadyne, Amzoil diesel fuel treatment, the list could go on for days, about the 2 stroke oil though i'd steer clear unless you have a VP44 truck there's just to many mixed opinions on it for the Common Rail trucks, and i noticed you have a 2006 dodge therefore it is a Common Rail, in the winter I run the recommended dosage of Howe's diesel treat in my fuel, but that's only to prevent the fuel from gelling, though it does offer fuel system cleaning capabilities as well, whether any product does anything or not, i don't know, i've tried a few things to no conclusive evidence

ATF(Automatic Trans. Flulid) High detregent cleans injectors better than anything I've ever known or tried.

using any cetane booster will help they cleaned the crap off my injectors and i always run lucas in the summer and howes in the winter and there is a reason to running additive with ur fuel all diesel fuel today is ultra low sulfur u need that sulfur to help lubricate stuff every pickup 07 or newer can go with out but on anything older not conditioning ur fuel is a good way to spend money on pumps, injectors, etc.
