I may have missed it....but did you ever discuss how Schaeffer's dropped the ball for you ? You mentioned it last video. Excellent content as always !! Thank you.
Honestly, I do not care how long your videos are. It's not the wrong with learning more about vehicles each day. It's a lesson to be learned life is the teacher. Wheat of people are the students. So in so many words what I'm telling you. It's not the wrong. We're giving us the knowledge. I want to know about to buy me a 2020 GMC Yukon denali xl so I need to know everything. I need to know about what you're talking about. I don't care if your videos are 10 minutes long. I'm prepared ready willing to able to listen to the knowledge that you have for us to listen to here on TH-cam. Keep doing your thing, man. I gave you a video. Hey thumbs up.
Stanadyne is a fuel system manufacturer. Why its the only fuel additive oem manufactures recommend.Install a Fass fuel system lift pump. There fuel filter filter 99.96% of water at 2 micron absolute. Made in the USA,lifetime warranty. I have installed several of these(install them on ever truck i have owned) on my Duramax and Cummins power trucks. I work at a refinery as a Union Operator running the Crude units.Its nice knowing about all the fuels,how there made,and have a lab where we take samples to and visit with them about the quality of what we are making.
I had not heard of Schaefer’s so thank you for this video. I have run Hot Shots EDT on an old 2006 Dodge 3500 and now on a 2021 Dodge 3500. I wasn’t going to run it on the new one and decided to give a try. I got 2mpg better fuel mileage after using. I don’t tow as much as you. Currently 53000 on the truck and 26000 towing. I am going to try the Schaeffers and see what I think. Thank you for the videos. I learn a lot from them.
I’ve run hotshot products in my 2018 tradesman Cummins from day one. Not a single issue. But she also had a big tune up at 9k to include studs and some trans upgrades.
Appreciate the content. I also run hotshot secrets extreme every oil change in my 5th gen. I did notice a 2mpg difference and can tell the concentrate is very potent in my opinion. I'd like to see a video of a mpg comparison between Schaefer and hotshot secrets.
Also, PLEASE keep up the talking head / experience videos. Love them. Huge benefit to have the knowledge transfer about best practices to continue to the next generation while they try to extinct diesels!
Been running Archoil diesel additive every tank on our trucks and their cleaner every 5,000 miles. I think running any additive or cleaner definitely helps let components last longer
I’ve run HotShots, Power Service and Howes, and I really like Hotshots but I keep going back to Howes in both my VP44 truck and my 6.7. Buddy of mine loves the Hotshots. That’s all he ever uses I mostly use Howes. Those are the only two I can attest to at the moment in terms of what I trust. I’ve not used anything Schaeffers as of yet. I’ll have to give it a try.
Paul, I think that trucker is a fan of yours and he must have been trying to catch up just for you to notice him. Not safe and smart, but he must have probably wanted to be on your video for his mama to see at home that he is working hard like you do on the road...lol. Stay safe and God bless.
For what its worth, I run the Hot Shots EDT every tank and their more heavy duty dpf cleaner every 15k or so. Only 155k on my 2016 6.7 but no pump or injector issues yet.
Would like to hear about your thoughts on R99, r95 renewable diesel not bio diesel. I’ve heard great things about burning cleaner and fewer regens but would like to hear your opinion.
Twice now you've mentioned that you changed injectors but then said something about valve/valve adjustment. Are you a 100k lash adjustment or longer? I'm at 120k all filters and oil about every 12k. 4th Gen, run Optilube summer year round, doesn't get cold here in South Alabama.
Man I been running turbomaxx additives…check out his TH-cam videos on the testing he does. …really like to know your opinion on it thanks for the video
I like Archoil myself.. I feel like it's a noticeable difference though I have not tested that theory... but in addition, I only hear great testimony about it as well.
Hi Paul I have a delete and a stock tune on my 2018 Laramie, less than 50k on the truck. Bought from new. Have a little injector noise since the delete, I’m told it’s normal. The truck was so quiet stock, the delete is a little louder I know the truck so we’ll but the timing of the injector seems off… lots of power. Nothing lacking there. Just the sound bugs me… people told me it’s normal. Any thoughts.
Can you run too much Injector cleaner? I run diesel kleen every fill up. My truck has an easy life until it comes to the weekends so I don’t go through much diesel. My concern is condensation in the tank. I keep it topped off when it sits to reduce that and run the diesel kleen product.
Additives and cleaners definitely help these hp cr systems last longer, especially the tight tolerances and the low sulfer garbage diesel thats sold now days. The amsoil cleaners are good products also archoil. Little expensive but worth it.
The only engine I've ever stuck an injector on was a two stroke GMC. You could change one of those injectors in 10 minutes if you had a spare in your tool box. You knew one was stuck when the engine ran away, Lol!
Paul, being a past business owner, and employee i see and know both sides of the employer-employee coin. I once heard a smarter than me person say.. "Be slow to hire,, be quick to fire" sounds like this is one them times... As for the trucker, I HEAR YOU DUDE. but it worse the stupid "4 wheelers" that like to get beside you on the left side and some time on right side on the larger 3plus lanes and just hang in a bad spot.. I NEVER ride beside people and especially truckers.. have seen toooooo many time where cars will have someone beside them and go to move over and almost clip the car on the side.. DO NOT RIDE BESIDE other vehicles.. I will slow or speed up depending on the terrain.
Paul. few things I would love to know from you 1. would you delete your truck if it was legal? 2. Is there a reason you are driving with no load under tow haul mode 3. Did you ever hear anybody using transmission oil as an additive? Thank you 🙏
A few tests on bob is the oil guy has proven Marvel Mystery Oil doesn’t add much if any lubricity. Best bang for the buck is Walmarts TWC3 Ash-less two stroke oil.
I had an ‘05 engine ruined by some sort of injection failure. I just bought a ‘10 dually with 155k on it. I have been considering upgrading the fuel system. Maybe I should just focus on flushing the tank and running additive.
@@repairvehicle I’m not entirely sure. The autopsy showed bent valves and push rods but no clear culprit. I am just guessing it was a stuck injector hydro locking a piston.
@@jessepitt I am not sure if it’s possible to hydro lock with stuck injectors because fuel is compressible. Water and coolant cannot be compressed and is known as number one cause for bent rods
I use diesel injectors cleaner and have no issues on my 18 Cummins. It’s even runs better after use. Also, use diesel fuel additive every tank and get an average 800 miles between regens. My fuel economy with additive 21-22 highway hand calculated.
That’s one of the biggest benefits of a solid fuel additive, the extension of times between regens. If folks can cut the regens in half their emissions equipment should last twice a long. Amsoil, Archoil, and Schaefer’s are all solid products.
3rd Gen injectors do go through injectors it’s partly due to not having proper filtration they basically just used the fuel filter from a vp 44 truck. And the 3rd Gen injectors are weaker but design
I have heard like 60K or so.. not currently a owner of cummins diesel so not sure. SO I found this and other info where it's recommended 120K or 120 months. here is a good paper to read.. fleeceperformance.com/media/wysiwyg/FPE-2019-30_Cummins_Cylinder_Head_Install_andValveLash.pdf
How are you sir? Thank you for your education I have a 2017 Dodge ram 3500 mega cab Dooley truck do I need to replace my fuel injectors clean them I only have 105,000 miles on my truck. Thank you.
No sir I just thought I would ask the questions. When am I supposed to? I do not use this vehicle for towing. It’s just for me to go to work homework that’s it. I change my fuel filters and I live every 10,000 miles. Thank you for your time sir very much appreciate you.
Thank you Paul for sharing your honest experiences. It is always a pleasure ! Just add some Rizlone engine treatment and what a difference. I also started with the Hotshot Secret injector cleaner. My 2019 ram 3500 as the HO motor with the Ainsin transmission and as 125 000km . Now I'm pretty new here, do you recommend any additive for the transmission ? Thank you
Oil additives and transmission additives is like cancer slowly destroying your engine by wearing out. Why do you think companies that manufacture additives don’t have any data on their website that they work.
Aren't most cleaners solvents vs. being lubricators? I had the tank rot out from the outside on my diesel Jeep Grand Cherokee after 14 years and was surprised that it looked brand new on the inside with me only running cleaners in the fall/spring. It may help the injectors flow the fuel you are putting through them but I don't think there is any massive collection of junk in the tanks if you don't.
@@jeremylunsford3731 he ran a new HO Ford for a short time and the transmission was slipping so he sold it. Nothing wrong with liking a certain brand but the guy has a large hot shot fleet. So I’m positive he could afford the Ford.
Anyone running ram/cummins for serious work in 2023 has some deep pockets or simply refuses to try anything else. I’m guessing the only reason he keeps pushing the ram product is because he’s set up with a shop to handle the constant piss poor quality of these Cummins engines.
diesel fuel has improved a ton from back in the day and it is somewhat a cleaner. I ran my truck without any treatment and no difference. I dont think you need to run anything with todays fuel. run a good filter system and you should be good.
Frankly then you don't understand ultra low sulfur diesel and it's reduced lubricity and why all diesel fuel supplements have lubricity enhancement for your fuel pump.
@@Jon-O. have you run trucks north of 300k miles without using any treatments? the problem with the parts on these trucks is, they're light duty. the idea that you think you can just add some shit out of a bottle and your truck is going to last significantly longer...

@@pokerman9108 , even epa website says diesel fuel lacks lubricity. Test that show improvement available on google for those that interested in facts.

Injector cleaners are great dumping money in a bottle that you hope works. Man behind the camera that never shows his face on video. Guys a tool bag. If you properly maintain anything it will last. 2 stroke oil works wonders on injectors
The guy behind the camera that never shows his face happens to own a hotshot company with over 15 to 20 trucks on the road every single day for the past 12 years, all trucks pulling over 26k pounds coast to coast also all his trucks make it past 500k miles, you in the other hand coming in here giving your 2 cents when no one asked you to, Pauls’ videos are straight knowledge from experience, Paul is not making this videos to advertise certain brands such as Schaefer’s, now that i mentioned i think Paul needs to reach out to Schaefer’s and get some compensation because if it wasn’t for Paul no one here would be running Schaefer’s products
