I run the EDT at each fill up along with the FR3 at the oil changes and the Stiction eliminator at the recommended time. I've had great results using it.
I use that hotshot stuff in the lifted truck. Works pretty good. Put some in after every oil change
That stuff is legit...and their Everyday Diesel Treatment. I've used it in my Dmax, Audi, VW and Cummins
Definitely
@@TruckMasterI really like your TH-cam channel with awesome diesel trucks powerstrokes duramaxs and Cummins 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Also Hot shot with LX4 is a must for LML owners who have not had a cp4 conversion. It helps with the lubricity in the pump and prolongs catastrophic failure
7.3 start below 40 degrees Fahrenheit= must plugin block heater for at least 152 hours before attempted cold start💯
HSS is by far the best fluids for your diesel on Earth! My LMM loves it!
I have used hot shots striction eliminator for over two years now. Last winter I started with no problem at -20 without being plugged in. 223,000 miles and climbing daily😊
Very good video, I'm sold! 👍
A lot of ford's with the HPOP injector system have seen improvement using our 5w30 diesel oil without adding any aftermarket additive.
Watch the project farm video comparing diesel additives? Really interesting! Hot shots did really well.
Love the power stroke content tho. I get a lot of shit because I like the 6.0s but I just have a lot of seat time with them since they were new. I was really close to getting a bullet proofed one locally. They wanted $16k for it and this was maybe 5 years ago. I got my LBZ instead. A local guy learned me on them.
Before and after balance rates will show the improvement
For anti gel and fuel injector cleaner I've always used Power Service brand. It's always worked for me.
Edit: I have an 07 LBZ Duramax, 1988 M998 HMMWV military surplus Humvee with a non-turbo 6.5L V8, and a 3 cylinder diesel tractor.
That’s awesome
Power service brand ismt that good. Watch project farms video on diesel additives you'll change your mind quickly
Glow plug relay could also be a good thing to replace as well, my dad has to replace his once a year.
That was replaced as well but great point
Howles diesel treatment works well too I use it in every tank full👍🏿👍🏿by the way I love the turbo whistle of that red dmax 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Awesome video!
iv have a moster truck f350 with 37 on it and ive been having smoke problems with it im gonna try this method soon and get back to you on it and let you know if i have luck
I have an early 99 F-350 and it starts in single digit temps with out plugging it in, about as good as that Duramax did in this video..and it still has the original injector.
a lot of it has to do with proper maintenance.
Any follow up on how this truck ran after the striction eliminator?
Hey my man, I love your videos. If you lived near me I would definitely take my trucks to get serviced with you. I had a quick question. I currently have a 16 lml duramax that has had a new cp4 pump put in. The only problem it’s having after is that the truck wownt start when it’s warmed up, you have to wait until it’s cold again to start it and will run fine. What would you think it could possibly be?
Random question, so I want to upgrade my breaks on my lbz. I plan on towing a fifth wheel camper and I currently have a sticking caliper and was wondering what would you recommend upgrading the calipers and rotors with.
Truck master,,, Thanks Bro , My VW 2.5 ex bus has this issue massive ! when it gets to minus 3 , its like the turbo has gone , it will run to 1000 rpm kick out white smoke and just wont drive , no power , even when left to idle to get to is working temp, still wont run , so i left it,,, today the weather was warmer , it ran fine , i just don't get it, i was going to fit a new turbo, but not yet something to try , i appreciate your wisdom . Thanks again .. New sub too .
Awesome I am about ready to try this stuff in my duramax.
It’s great stuff
Please do follow up vid doing overnight cold start here in lovely Mi...
I will definitely do that
In the OLD Days, Siloo was used. Does it still work as a diesel additive/conditioner?
One thing you will notice is the smell when idling, it actually smells line pine Its weird but i like it 😂😂😂
I’ve got 2 injectors sticking on my 7.3 liter there stuck wide open an are causing the truck to smoke lots of white smoke when running as well it takes a while to get it to turn on. I’m wondering if I should try this or just rebuild the injectors or replace them
I swear by it. Every other oil change I use the Hot Shots on my 2003 6 liter. Also, for the 7.3's and older 6.0's, use a fuel additive every time you put fuel in the tank. Makes up for the modern low sulphur diesel. Very important for the life of your injectors.
Try using Archoil Winter Diesel and AR9100 oil Treatment. I love it. Came across this stuff from Power stroke help TH-camr guy..
Thanks I will check it out
Make sure you put a couple ounce in the hpop reservoir. Just because it circulates such a small amount of oil
Hey truckmaster do you know the condition of this truck anymore, if it ever got injectors or the oil helped the problem.
Would this work on duramax as well?
Mr. Truck master Using hot shot additives will affect your air dog fuel pump ? Thank you 🇺🇸👏
Project farm just did a great comparison test and hot shot secret came first and my go too syn 2 stroke oil I think came in second
I might have to check that out
Highly recommend, his videos are great and very informative
Amsoil is expensive. Have you ever tried supertech TC- W3 2 stroke oil. Its $14 a gallon at Walmart
Roma Razumovsky yes the best normally is but too expensive for burning with ones fuel. I haven’t tried that 2 stroke yet but when I do I want to try the syn marine 2 stroke.
Roma Razumovsky 2 stroke works well in gas too
I just bought both hot shot secrets
What kind of oil do you use
Pause the video at 1:51 and look at the volt meter. If the glow plugs are getting power the needle should be below the battery symbol. This shows that for whatever reason the glow plugs aren't turning on as there is no voltage drop.
Did you pit the fr3 in as well?
I ran Hot Shot oil and fuel additives for an entire year and didn't help anything. Just had injectors replaced and the nozzles were still all gummed up.
Hot shot secrets ... yeah their stuffs ... the shit 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸👊🏻💪🏻
So about halfway through the video his truck has a very heavy idle, well a couple weeks ago my transmission went out on my impala and at one point trying to drive up a small hill the car started shaking a bit violently and sounded just like that trucks idle for about 10 seconds it was wild
Archoil works well also. Use it in my 97 power stroke
Foreign made junk
Hot Shot or Stanadyne. Good stuff 👍
2 best products for all around performance. Another big thing people forget about besides gelling is lubricity. It's a must have for long lasting injectors and pumps
Hey man I got my lml fixed it was the fuse for the fass system
That’s good news
Okay I had this same issue on my 7.3l and turns out that the batteries were bad, it would smoke like a mofo when it was cold, once I put the new group 31 batteries in it, the glow plugs now get hot enough to start just fine in cold mornings, it does smoke a little bit, but it’s a 7.3l they all will smoke a bit when cold hahah.
I have a 99 7.3 if the glow plug relay, glow plugs, starter and batteries are bad.. the 7.3 will have problems starting. I do run archoil and the fuel additive tho.
Archoil is expensive but it works great. The only problem is auto part stores don't stock it and have to order it online. I've seen hotshot at o'Reilly auto parts but I'm scared to try something new. I'm almost out of archoil and may try hotshot next time.
They make an aftermarket kit for the glow plugs and electrical I think it's about $350 on eBay
@@robertelee6712 I do archoil every other oil change for the oil additive. Just run the fuel additive every fill up
Those 7.3 and 6.0L need to be plugged in overnight. Hell if that truck needs injectors, don’t send it out, do it yourself and get the wad from the job; fundage for the Dmax. Lol sounds like good stuff.
Have the glow plugs been tested?? I'd be leaning that direction. Or compression
Glow plugs are new
@@TruckMaster what about the relay and harnesses?? I really don't think you have a fuel/injector issue going off of the amount of white smoke coming from the tail pipe when cranking, and by how smooth it does run once it starts. I'm saying lack of compression or glow plugs issue. Did you test the relay?? When you initially turn the key on you should have power on the two big posts and one of the little posts. The 4th post should be grounded. If all 4 posts have power I'm willing to bet you have an ECU issue.
I assume you tested glow plugs seems like if even one is bad in those 7.3s don't wanna start
The glow plugs are new
Be sure to do an update after a few hundred miles to see how it starts later.
I don’t really think it will fix the problem as the smoke indicates there is fuel being put into the cylinder and if it’s stiction it won’t be fuelling that stuck cylinder.
So the smoke should mean fuel going into the cylinder with a squirt instead of a mist.
Do you even understand how the HEUI system works?
Eugene Franklin do you? Have you rebuild an hpop? Have you pulled a 6.0 or 7.3 injector apart to know what’s inside? Have you ever even worked on a car or truck?
If you don’t even know what I was saying then what’s the point make a snide comment?
Is it normal for you to have a puff of black smoke coming out your 4” exhaust (when you get on it) does have a muffler on a stock LLY truck is not tuned and does not have any engine mods
Yes, it's nothing to worry about.
What about when you start it and a puff of black smoke comes out. No muffler
Should do a progress video on it in the future
I will
Awesome I’m very curious
Arch Oil, the best.
How about you get a block heater and plug it in. If you cycle it a couple times before starting it that will also help.
It was plugged in and I always cycle it
FYI no point in using the oil additive on duramaxes if this comes up in the comments. Duramax injectors are oiled by the oil in the diesel. So use there fuel additive it made my balance rates go from +30 back down to .5 -.1
Wouldn't it still clean up the rest of the engine....? Has anyone used the hot shots oil yet?
Joey Macdonald it will yes but people mostly use it to just save injectors this is mostly a ford oil additive but it would still help in a Chevy just not injectors
Yes exactly I should have said that in this video
Truck Master it’s all good I just see in reviews of this oil all the time people ask all the time if it’ll help duramax injectors keep up the badass video bud!!!!!
Josh Shupe thanks Josh
When it comes to injectors, this stiction eliminator only works on HEUI type fuel systems? I've got a 6.5 Detroit Diesel, mechanical injectors (no PMD), and it's hard to start when it's 95F outside, and I don't want to know what happens when it drops below 32F. When it does start it puts up a smoke screen that dwarfs that Fords, and same color, white. 2 years ago I was told I need a new engine, but a few months ago I had to do an extended crank after changing the fuel filter and noticed that I don't have a compression skip, and no blow-by. I'm thinking I might try to do injectors, but I know little about diesels and no diesel shop here wants to touch an old mechanical engine except for the shop that gave me the quote two years ago for an engine swap
If you need injectors you need injectors if it's worst than that Ford it's bad no way around injectors that's just the way it is
John Davis
If it has no skip and no blow by then your shop was trying to up sell you to a new engine. But it don’t need it. Just get the injectors out and get them tested. It could be a pump also so if the injectors don’t fix it the pump could be running low on pressure also.
@@ethanutter7971 , Thanks, I was expecting to have to do an engine transplant, but later I began to suspect the injectors and pump. Being mechanical, the injectors are cheap... but the last time I did injectors it was on a Cummins, and I screwed up the feed lines. No big deal, since I already had some new ones on hand, so I replaced them. But I can't find feed lines for my 6.5, which means that if I screw up the ones that I have, it won't be going anywhere until I can source some.
@@davidschmidt449, Thanks, I began to suspect that after the long crank when I had replaced the fuel filter. I haven't checked compression, but the lack of compression skip, and then lack of blow-by, I'm starting to suspect that the engine may be okay. It's just that in the small town I live in, there's not many shops I can go to, and the only one that will accept the job says "pay me for another engine". If I have to replace the injectors I guess I'll have to try it myself and be very careful when doing so.
John Davis
I have seen a few videos of guys working on the 6.5 engines on here. You may be able to get some information from videos. I have never done it but my dad has works on them lots. I don’t see why it would be a hard job.
But you could check with that shop and see if they would do an injector swap for you if asked to. Of find an injector shop and see if they do installation.
What batteries do you use ??
I’m not to sure
My LB7 starts up no hesitation in 20 degrees 😁
That’s why I love DMAX!
Jantzen Moore that’s warm! Try -36 Celsius (about -32 for you American folk) lb7 fired up lol
How often do I have to use the hot shot?
Every tank till you notice results
@@TruckMaster ok thanks
how long are you going to leave that stuff in the oil , before next oil change
I think that’s more of a preventative measure than a fix. I used it but didn’t seem to notice a difference. However, I do think that if it’s used during every oil change it’ll help for sure. I’ll admit I am a little skeptical of it working right away. On the back of the bottle it says it takes a few thousand miles right? I don’t feel like running out to the garage to read the bottle
OK!!!
No place near me in Michigan sells the hot shots secret winter anti gel 😡
Go online it’s the best way to buy the stuff
Look in TSC
@@TruckMaster where for fuel additive?
Actually on there website right now it's cheaper there then anywhere else
Try Menards
Okay. You need to test your glow plugs 7 3 are notorious for glow plug issues because of the way the electrical is run second of all the main problem with your injectors could be that the injector heads need to be rebuilt that is much less expensive and most dude can do it themselves if they know how to turn a wrench last but not least ambient temperature sensor relay this is what fires off your glow plugs before your supposed to start it normally you'll hear it click but even if it clicks you need to make sure that the output power is sufficient from the solenoid front center of the engine
The glow plugs are new
@@TruckMaster doesn't mean the electricals to each one is not screwed up I've seen it before I own proformance design fabrication machine and welding and I've been running 600 horsepower plus 7.3 l Ford diesel since 99 before that I was running a twin-turbo 69 diesel that I also built I had a shop in Phoenix for 6 years move it back to Montana and wrecked my chopper into a deer so I haven't worked in a couple years but my information is solid I promise
Todd Hart thanks for the info I will check it out
Did you watch project farms video
No sir
Sup
How to fix hard start but a duramax. Seriously tho powerstrokes always struggle with cold starts.
Very true
That is a glow plug issue. Not stiction. An over night test is what needs to be done. Not just a few hours.
Glow plugs are newer
Judging from the smoke, I would be checked the glow plug relay. Appears as if none are working.
Not necessarily, with the amount of force the injectors are pushing the fuel out and the amount of heat generated from that a 7.3 should have no problem firing up in 20 degree weather. My obs never had a problem firing up below freezing once I put new injectors in it. Most of the time I just hopped in it and turned the key never let the glowplugs heat up.
Noah Bridwell your 100 % correct. I can do the same with mine. But I bet if you disconnected your glow plug relay it wouldn’t. As soon as u turn the key they start heating up.
Not a good test block holds the heat you needed to let the truck sit on a cold overnight
Is this your truck ?
No it’s a company truck
Could be just glow plugs my dude.
I notice you did this video on a FORD. Hahaha. My son calls them PowerJoke.
Sounds kinda like it’s got bad compression
I can hear a low-ish cylinder during cranking. Definitely not anything catastrophic, but not great. I've had 2 7.3s and know what to listen for.
Motore diverso ma problema identico...... risolto con 2EHN e olio per motori 2 tempi 100%sintetico
Find and repair the problem
The 7.3 needs the injectors shimmed
DON'T put lucas in a 7.3! It makes this problem worse.. called stiction
Using 5w40 will improve this over 15w40, BUT shims will FIX this and make the truck start like new
Shims cost LESS than a bottle of that crap
SHIMS! NOT FANCY CRAP IN A BOTTLE
Do it yourself in an afternoon no need to pull them...
Take care and don't sell that 7.3!
Great vid but 80$???????
Ford vs Chevrolet
All that stuff you do on the duramax's and you cant replace 7.3 injectors? Shoooooooot it's a walk in the park compared to works on those duramax's.
I never said I can’t but while not try to save 5k ? That’s my thought
@@TruckMaster that hot shots secret is super good stuff! Smart decision trying to save some $$$. But what I was referring to is you said better to try the hot shots instead of putting it into the shop for injectors. I was simply expressing theres no way you need to put that thing in a shop. You far exceed the ability to stab injectors in that ol girl! Love your videos to by the way.
Archoil
Test is not fair. Should have let the truck sit over night.

So why the fuck do people use diesels in cold areas? Nothing but trouble and added coat of everything. Complete waste of time
