Couldn't agree more.I use it every fill up.Just make sure the letters tc-w3 are on the front,its an ashless oil and won't gum stuff up.I used the skidoo synthetic stuff at fist and I loved that now I use the tech stuff from Wallmart and it works the same just cost a lot less.

I also use it-- My smog man could not believe how quiet my truck was when he checked ity-- said he was seeing a lot of Ford trucks-!

 

I use it but I rotate it between Diesel Kleen and the Tech 2 stroke oil at Walmart. 2 tanks of Diesel Kleen and then a tank of 2 stroke. It works awesome for me!

 

excellent info guys...im a newbie to my lb7 and this kinda info is great...good job and thanks for posting...

 

The LB7 is known to have injector issues, so be sure you change the fuel filter changed on a regular schedule.

 

I've been running diesel Kleen and 2 stroke oil

 

i have marrine ams oil 2 stoke oil tc-w3 ..is this ok to run?

Ok perfect wasn't sure if jus cuz it was marine I shouldn't run it or not but awesome

 

Any idea on how an LML would like this only additive I heard was safe for the LML was howes?

 

My .02, put diesel fuel and an additive such as howes or diesel kleen in a brand new truck. I probably wouldn't use 2 cycle with the aftertreatment on them.

I use 2 cycle and believe it makes the engine quieter, and helps lube the injection system.

Probably not a good idea to use it on a vehicle with a DPF, because it may restrict the DPF and go to Regeneration more often.

i would just use opti lube xpd or diesel kleen and be done.

 

Diesel Kleen dropped my MPG down 5

 

GM recommends stanadyne. Its one of the best performing lubricity additives available. Plus it only takes a few ounces to treat a whole tank. I haven't done the math but I don't think the cost is much different between the two when used in the proper amounts.

I've heard of enough folks saying how shitty the inside of their motor looked upon teardown after running 2 stroke oil to make me not run it. Stanadyne or diesel kleen is cheap and effective.

I just started using 2cycle in my truck what a difference quiet it down and get little bit better on mpgs. Then run a cleaner in the next tank.

 

I am using up the last of my Diesel Kleen and then going to switch over the Walmart 2 cycle oil. From everything I have read, this should be the best thing for the ol girl. Very interested to see if the motor quiets down a bit and if I gain any mpg's.

 

Ive ran 2 stroke, diesel kleen, standyne, amsoil, and so far schaeffers diesel treat works best for me. Quiet better mpg and a cetane booster for a tad bit more power. Also.can get it cheaper than the rest so makes it easy to decide!

 

I hadn't run additive since last year and this summer I got the injector rattle and missing at times. It got really bad.

I've been running injector cleaner every fillup along with 6 oz of synthetic 2-stroke. I bought a Edge Insight CTS to monitor the balance rates and they are all look good now. I still have one injector that will go 2.0 - 2.5 at times which I will replace. I also dumped the Rotella T6 and went to Delo 400. Between the injectors getting clean and the Delo 400, my engine is really quiet and smooth now.

I've been driving 39 miles each way to a job lately and getting 21.7 to 22 on the highway.

Needless to say, I'm pretty damn happy now.

 

how about amsoil? ive got like half a gallon left of 2stroke amsoil. will that work? i will not run amsoil anymore(do not ask why i dont feel like getting into a debate), just curious so i can get some use out of it!

 

Yes, use it.

Also, please PM me what happened, I'm curious. I hear/read occasional Amsoil bashing but I'd like to know what happened that made you not want to use it...thanks

i would never run 2 stroke oil in my truck, i was working on an lly a few weeks ago and had to replace 2 injectors, the tips were plugged with a blackish gunk, asked the owner if he ran any additives and said 2 stroke oil, ended up replacing all 8, IMO its a bad idea but yall will do what you want cuz its your truck

 

this is probably something where you want to make sure you dont put too much in. he was probably just throwing a bunch in every fill up.

 

Any advice on Seafoam? I use in in all my gas toys as a stabilizer/ fuel system cleaner.

It says it works on diesels, but....

 

I've heard yes and once I started asking around it was a def. NO... don't remember exactly why, but it would have ended up doing more harm than good. I'd stick to what's proven and all these other guys use, like mostly a good additive that's designed to be a good additive... not a make-do home remedy..

 

Never used 2 stroke but I pour in a quart of ATF every other tank or two. it cleans and lubricates everything,and I get about 1 mpg gain due to the fact of it being full of detergents. I used to due this in my semi but 2 quarts every other fill up.

07' LBZ, PPE standard tuner, 4" Diamond Eye,no kitty,muff delete, 3" ProFab down pipe,S&B cold air,limo tint, 285/75/16's, 22's in powder coat coming soon with 305/40/22 Cooper xeon ltz's

 

i had a mechanic friend tell me to put

1 Qt of ATF and one jug of howls = one 5gal of diesel can and mix it good and use that on 2 fill ups?
Have not tryed it yet but going to on next fill up i have used 2 stroke oil for years now and i ran 1L and big mtn dew bottle full at fill ups.. he says to mix it up first in a can idk but he says if of you don't you will always have some at the bottom of your tank? im going to stat trying it

 

I've had great luck with wal-mart cheapo tcw-3 2 Stroke oil.

I run 1 once per gallon and it has improved fuel mileage about 1.5-2 MPG. The truck also has noticeably less injector noise.
