[AT] Tractor OEM filters/Eco Diesel

[Dave Rotigel]

I had problems with my 2005 F250 6.0. The cross valves(?) in the injectors were sticking and it started hard and idled poorly when cold (ie under 40 degrees). After getting the price for 8 new injectors I tried Rev X added to the oil. After adding it the problem went away--did Rev X solve it? I'm not sure, but I add two bottles each oil change! (The only oil that I have ever used in the engine is Rotella!)
