Ok guys, Here it is in a nut shell. My 6.0 is a little sluggish and has a little rough idle. I had a small issue with the popping and missing when under a decent pull. I pulled the egr valve and cleaned and solved that problem.

I changed oil yesterday @145K miles and added 2 qts of Hot Shot Secret.

Tractor Supply now carrys it and a friend of mine gave it a try and liked the results. I know a few of you will cry Snake Oil and don't care. I will let you know what it if anything changes.

changed the oil and put this stuff in

. I will wait and see what happens with it. If nothing I will try your way and get back with you. I also leave tonight to pick up another project car and will run about 1K miles.

Heat and friction silently steal power from your diesel engine. The scientists from LSI Institute have uncovered a powerful lubricity agent…Hot Shot’s Secret Friction Reducer. One treatment of Friction Reducer to your oil and your diesel will run cooler and increase towing power. Negatively charged synthetic ester tenaciously attaches to all internal parts completely lubricating your diesel engine.

PS...(my comments) this is pure marketing verbiage...no technical
stuff at all, other than a buzz word like 'ester'

Truth in that 'heat and friction' does steal power, but how do they
negate that and if so, how much? If 0.01% reduction...I'm not going to
spend any $$$ on that little to no gain

See above bolded in red...

I don't see your point here on changing the oil yesterday. That is when I put the stuff in. That would have been the 12th today is the 13th. Your point was? Also the stiction eliminator says nothing about the stuff you stated on their website or on my bottle about added lubrication. I don't think you have your facts straight.
