Let us know how it goes!

Keep watching this thread and see how the RevX works for the 6.0L Ford, but you can read about it, and some of their other additives, too, here:

um...uh...1 word miracle...put it in the truck yesterday after runnin it cold with my sct on the truck and the sct helped a little with shifting and all. put the revx in yesterday and this morning it didnt idle nearly as rough. i didnt let the truck warm up for more than 2 min (normally i give it 5 at least) then took it down my street and eased into the pedal and OMFG it shifted right where it was supposed to. didnt buck didnt kick...there wernt any hard shifts like normal...i am amazed. ive tried some other stuff like lucas before which helped a little but this didnt help it fixed...um...ya...im f-ing amazed and im gunna buy more...100% sure that aslong as i have the money revex will stay in the truck. i mean i about crapped my pants when the truck didnt buck. its been ridin like hell for the past 6 to 8 months and its ridden rough for the past year or so and this 100% FIXED the problem. if you have a 6.0 and you dont have these problems yet go buy revx so that you never have to deal with this BS.

sun...you are my hero...and i will be ordering more from you...do u sell it in bulk with a discount cause my dads company has several 6.0 work trucks that rnt buckin bad yet but could really use this stuff because those guys will say their truck is broke when it does this and then take a couple days off and then we r out bc they r gone and weve got to pay a tech to tell us theres nothing wrong with the truck

Default Rev-X resolved issues overnight!

2003 Ford Excursion 6.0L Diesel. I have spent a lot of money having vehicle troubleshot and reflashed to resolve cold start issues and rough running or stuttering (bucking) between 47-55 mph which has been an unresolved issue for a few years. I was getting ready to order REV-X product just based on feed back I've read on this site and was lucky enough to be included in the test group. I received Rev-X yesterday late afternoon. I poured it in and drove it hard for about 30 minutes. Vehicle was running smoother after about 20 minutes and fuel economy increased although not substantially. I was impressed but it had been driven earlier in the day so I wasn't sure if it was still warm or it was the REV-X. This morning I woke up and started the truck up and took off without the normal 5 minute or any warmup. I intentionally started it and drove. Normally engine would stutter and not produce power without warming up. When I say not produce power I could not get out of the way of a Toyota Prius with an elderly driver on a cold start. I was amazed it drove like a new truck and accelerated normally and I intentionally drove at 50 mph, no stutter or roughness. I am very very impressed and have already called my gee whiz diesel mechanic to tell him about the product. I will be using REV-X with every oil change. My fuel economy has been 13.8 uphill, downhill, towing, or sitting still and has increased to 14.6 overnight I'm hoping it continues increasing. I hope this feedback helps others with these problems and if mileage continues to increase I'll give follow up. Amazing product!

Default I'm very pleased I can stop giving Ford my money

The improvement in fuel economy is huge but I'm ecstatic the truck is running like it should!
