If it’s not made for a diesel, I won't take the risk of running it. The Ford injectors are NOT cheap, at least for me. Why cause a failure by running something not intended for the pickup?

BG all weather dfc with lubricity

This stuff is ~2oz per tank so it will last.

Keep truckin'

There are tons of 6.0 owners running 2 cycle. It wont hurt anything.

I really don't run much of anything, mostly because when I was burning WVO, it was way more lubrication than anything I could have added to #2.

When I did run something, it was mostly for winter use, but I've always used Opti-Lube products. I originally ran lucas, then realized it was pretty much a waste of money, as far as lubrication goes. It does nothing.

Here's a good read for you guys... Lubricity Additive Study Results - Diesel Place : Chevrolet and GMC Diesel Truck Forums
