- Adding ATF to your diesel fuel, one of the most controversial arguments of diesel additive. A waste of time or a forgotten savior. You decide lol

I worked at a Dodge dealership back in mid to late 90’s and when we changed fuel filters on the 5.9 Cummins we always filled the filters up with atf. 👍🏼
Really??
Its amazing how many people out there have no clue....I've got a 2001 7.tree with 800 thousand miles all original everything...still stroking to this day....I've added ATF,15W-40, PURE SYNTHETIC LUCAS, USED MOTOR OIL,2STROKE OIL, HYDRAULIC FLUID, Kerosene, been driving it for almost 24 years now......she will still outrun any dodge or Chevy....
Calm down buddy you aint outruning everybody lol
Aint out running to many things at all bro
@@SDP_5.9definitely not in a 7.3 things are stupid slow lol
Had an old friend years ago that ran big diesel trucks hauling grain , and he swore by atf in each tank of diesel. When I bought my first gen 5.9 back in the early 90's I used atf about every other tank full .I sold it with almost 400K miles and it NEVER gave me any issues and was still a great engine.
I’ve worked on heavy equipment for years and we always refill fuel filters with atf especially out in the field when we change filters.
I love the content man! Your videos with the Black 6.7L Powerstroke helped me when my Dad sold his 2019 Ford F-250 Lariat 6.7L Powerstroke deleted and tuned for a 2021 Ford F-150 Ecoboost. He bought a 2022 Ford F-250 King Ranch 6.7L Powerstroke yesterday so I am relieved from my pain. Love the vids! Keep it up!
I bought a '03 f350 diesel dually 4x ran horrible, I was laughed at by 2 shops that said scrap it. I found Spanky from Spankies mobile diesel in Boulder City, NV and after a complete exam, and tightening the FICM it ran great, however..still had hard starts, glow plug issues, Spanky said add ATF to tank, after a couple of tanks and 2 qts of atf, no more hard starts, smooth as new. I sware by using ATF.
I ran ATF fluid in my Duramax. A lot more than many would suggest. I’d run up to 15gal in my 26gal tank. Any more and it would start to smoke white. Smoother engine for sure when running and no gelling. I never had an issue so I can’t say it’s a problem. Factory injectors made it to 250k miles.
which engine
@@fizzi5836 the notoriously bad injectored LB7
I was just going to comment the same thing. LBZ burned it fine. Gallons of it. 🤷🏼♂️ never an issue. Exhaust just smelled funny 🤔
Did you mix it with gas or diesel? You should make some videos about it
@@Kenny407 you could say I mixed it with diesel. On my ‘03 it had a 26gal fuel tank and I would pump in as much as 15gal of filtered ATF. I got all of my information from the guys running waste oil in 7.3 Powerstrokes. It really made the engine quiet and ran so smooth. No cold start issues and no mileage loss. Can’t say I gained mileage either. Hands down I’d do it again.
It also helped that when I was doing it, the transmission shops were giving it away. Now that’s not so much the case. At least where I live.
I have been trucking over the road 35 years. I use transmission fluid every time I change the fuel filter. I'll fill it up. It works. Perfect, never have any injector or
fuel related issues
When I was a GM mechanic at a Cadillac dealer we git a service bulletin from Cadillac saying if we had any of the diesel 5.7 with any drive ability issues to put a quart of atf in the tank.. After I gave up wrenches I started driving a truck and when they serviced the cat motors they always filled the fuel filters with atf and the Peterbilt dealer in Nashville said they sell them less injectors than any other customers they had!!
I run lots of equipment, when I change the filters out I prime it with ATF. Keeps them all running clean.
Diesel is basicly a thin oil in a way so yes oil and diesel do mix, a lot of guys pit atf in there diesels I also use 2 stroke oil sometimes as an injection lubricant never had an issue
I’m a SSG in the Army I am a 91B so in my 09 Duramax I pour 1qt of atf in a my 26gal fuel tank for extra lubraction. The fuel that is around now dosent have all the lubricants it needs, so it helps a lot with lubricating the engine properly
I would run 16 Oz of tc2w ashless 2 stroke oil fom wallow in my old 2006 5.9L. Smoothed the engine out compared to when not running it.
I've fixed multiple duramax injector balance rates with liquimoly diesel purge. I'll run the truck straight off of it though, no mixing. I use it to clean out TDI injectors aswell
aft is fine its hydraulic fluid, with a lot of detergent, yes diesel is an oil burner and it burns oil. there is NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. Diesel tech of 15 years ran it in my trucks sometimes a would pour 5 gallons in the tank at a time
Used to run at in the log trucks I drove. It's fun explaining to a dot why the fuel in your tank is red !
This is sweet, nobody ever does this type of stuff. I love it, keep the content coming!
More to come
ATF yes. If i see a stray bottle and know its not gonna be going in car tranny , it goes in diesel tank. Ive put over a gallon in at one time.
I was told to use only dextron and not the ATF that used in the Ford or Dodges…just the stuff that is used in the Chevs!….and oil and diesel fuel do mix…just like oil and gas mix!…and I my buddy has been doing this for 30 years in his trucks and they have hundreds of thousands of miles on his trucks trouble free!..it works!..I would also check the heater grid on the intake…she might have an issue with the power post going into the intake!
I watch a couple TH-cam channels (Hamiltonville Farms and Diesel Creek) where they have put ATF in their diesel engines to clean up the injection pump and the injectors
My 05 did that with bad injectors grid heater light being on means excessive returns no way to fix with additives
P1222 & P1223 code come with it. I've had 2 06 trucks and one 04.5. All 3 of them have had the issue. Dodges are money pits lol
I ran straight atf ,engine oil and hydraulic oil in my 7.3 for about two years while diesel first went up to 4:99 a gallon,it was over flow from 55 gallon barrels fleet fluid changes I would not use used oil.
In fact the TH-cam channel Diesel Creek bought an antique 1950's Loran cable shovel, the guy's that he bought it from mixed old motor oil into the diesel fuel to give the diesel engine some extra top-end lubrication
Atf will not harm diesels even long term my dad and uncle ran it in for 40 years in their old tractors and even their regular trucks I even do it in my gassers it helps with keeping injectors lubed have a 04 ram 5.7 hemi with almost 279k miles been doing it ever so often since Oct 2017 when it had only 172k miles and runs perfect I get lot people give me compliments on how it runs even when they have a new ram same engine and mine sounds better than theirs lol
all my diesels get 1 quart atf with every other fill up. cant run with dpf but all others are fair game. keeps your injectors clean and increases lubricity thus reducing wear in the entire fuel system. nice vid though.
There's also a few guys on TH-cam that run their powerstrokes off ATF only, lookup 7.3 powerstroke ATF as fuel.
Si it’s safe to do that on a 2002 GMC sierra 2500 HD duramax and works as injectors cleaner?
I had the similar issue with my 03 and it was the injectors :)
I ran atf in wll my diesels, from a 95 7.3 to 2000 era 7.3s a 12 valve a 24 valve and a couple 6.0s
Do not use synthetic into the fuel. it may have ruined my Injector pump. Was told it would screw it up. I was using ZF-1 Honda fluid. Still have a couple of cases of that stuff. Type F has grit in it for firmer shifts. Not sure I want that in my fuel system.
Did it work or did you have to change injectors
All those years of CR dodges have injector problems all the way until the late 3g’s early 3g’s are known for injector problems
Guys, I added a quart of Mercon V to the fuel tank (19 gallons) of my 2002 Ford Ranger Edge 3.OL every 5K miles and ran the tank dry (ok, really low). Bought it new in Nov. 2001 and sold it in Aug. 2013. It had 305K miles on it. Engine was fine, the body and frame rusted out. The ATF acts as an upper cylinder lubricant and cleaner and oils up the injectors. I've also been doing the same thing to my 2012 F-150 5.0L. NO ISSUES! On gasoline engines the O2 sensors do not like it, so don't overdo it. If you have a smaller fuel tank, use a half a quart.
Use marvel mystery oil
What is the best 80hp tune with a dpf delete I can get for a 17 powerstroke? And who would you recommend going through to get parts.
How big was the turbo installed?
I was told the fuel has changed from the late 90s till now I got a 7.3 with what I believe to be failing injectors I was really hoping this one or seafoam would get me by till the next full force injectors come in or I might go ith thorghbred diesel injectors
Dude said the glow plug light is on 😂😂😂
You have a leaking injector, that’s why it hangs up when you rev up.
Did you check the turbo seals?
Did it start immediately after you tuned it?
Cory what's the best oil for the powerstroke plz
Need to put it in the diesel filter for the best results
I'd recommend seafoam in the fuel instead, it's cleaned up my injectors before. About 4 oz per gallon is what I used. Considering you could have a lot of sludge buildup in the engine, you may want to run some marvel mystery oil at 20 percent of your oil volume for about 100-300 miles of really hard driving. Change the oil after that and see if it helps at all. It may take several flush outs but I've seen a forum where a cummins owner did this and it cured his rev problem. Other than that it's gotta be computer related
Let’s see a pic of that glow plug light I have never seen one
I fill up semi fuel filters with atf helps prime the system. Y’all need to do some more research on it. It does no harm
“I drive this everyday”😂
😂😂
Should have put it in the filter housing
Different injection system obviously, but I've run almost 100% used ATF in my P-pump 12 valve. Free fuel for me. Runs totally fine can't even tell the difference. I save all the ATF from transmission flushes at work. Drove a whole month for free one time.
I've been thinking about this as an option for cheap fuel. Go around and offer 50 cents a gallon for used ATF at service stations and see if they have and will part with their used ATF. Won't know until I try.
what is the code ?
I’ve used atf in my diesels for 20 yrs works great
retorque fuel lines on rail , there is a update spec
I don't know if you don't know what a runaway diesel is Are you were just looking for more clicks.This is not a runaway diesel video.
Man put the whole quart in there hell put both of them in there. geez to it up
Oil and fuel do mix. Ol timers will tell you 30W is best 2 stroke mix. Mixes pretty damn good. ATF seems to incapsulate the debris in the fuel system. All I no is guys that tell me they put atf in every other tank have 300k plus miles on injectors and they are quite(healthy). I’ve do it in the Ol 7🌲. Kinda scared to do it in the 6.7. But I do think hot shots LX4 is prob the beat preventive maintenance on those trucks for the CP4🤷🏼
My 7.3 is at 257k I just got it from a city boy who never did anything with it so I'm afraid my injectors are already done I still wonder if this trick would revive mine for a bit till I get parts ordered
*Does it have detergent" Have you ever seen a dirty transmission 😂
I just made the same exact comment on another video, thats funny. You can tell when a guy actually has turned a wrench or two.
ATF is nothing but a detergent but hotshots works really well
It's definately injectors! The hang up your experiencing is fuel leaking into they cylinder that's is creating the engine to step down the way it is. This is bad for your cylinders because it causes extra heat generates in there. Yes, you do need new injectors. I'm speaking from experience on this one.
My assumption would be turbo oil leak or injector
I think Cummins recommends you don’t do any additives in fuel
C16 CAT runs good with a Gallon per 100gallons of Diesel. N14 runs the same way.
Sounds like she’s got a stiction issue. ATF helps lube cylinders and fuel system better than any other chemicals and snake oils they try to get you to buy. My buddy has a semi he puts ATF in every other fill up and it’s got 875,467 mils on it. 👍🏼
transmission fluid works and diesel fuel. It is combustible, and it will clean all The internals
From what I've heard that is injector problems.
Definitely an injector(s)….. haha nice video man I enjoyed it
Thanks 👍
1 qt to a tank of fuel never hurt my Duramax
One quart 2 stroke and one quart ATF with every fill up.
Atf has powerul cleaners in it.
Not even one quart will you noticed that soon.
should have used 2t motor oil
Probably a hanging cable.
Doing it For the thrill of it !
If it's on the internet...it must be true 😵💫☺️
Seems like injectors
Finally I got the notification squad
It will run on pure atf if you wanted it wont hurt a thing other than your wallet paying for it
Injectors
ATF👍
What a waste of time.
SEAFOAM
Are you kidding that, "oil and fuel don't mix?"I don't think either one of you have the qualifications to fix this poor truck. Lol
Diesel is oil
adding ATF will NOT fix your engine.
It won't break older engines also some guys empty the fuel from the carbs in Generators and put atf in the carb for long term storage
Dodge means to avoid
