Stiction prevention???

hotrodder_101 · Mar 18, 2014

I am in the process of buying a truck. I was wondering when it is recommended to start using an additive and what intervals to us it? Also, what additive is recommended?
Thanks Luke

hmmm i didn't realize 6.7s had an issue with stiction. pretty sure they have piezoinjectors that don't have oil pumped through them.

or did you mean to post in the 6.0 section?

Yeah man the 6.7 and 6.4 are both common rail peizo electric injectors, they don't have stiction issues. But if you want to keep the injectors healthy keep good clean fuel in the tank, drain the water seperator monthly, and run some fuel lubricant additive in it to keep the Lubricity up.

No, this is the section that I meant to put it in. I wasn't aware that the common rail systems that don't use the oiling system to fire the injectors do not have stiction problems. Thanks for the info. I will certainly keep the tank clean and filters changed.
