Injector failures with or without fuel additive from day one

[daytripper63]

How many here have had an injector failure that have ran a lubricity addative or bio-diesel in their fuel since day one? I spoke a while back with a guy that worked at a refinery and he said they had to reline pipes or tanks or new pipes or something like that cause they were not suppose to run the new diesel fuel through the old line cause they dont want contamination. I believe we are already getting the 2007 ultra low sulfer diesel or something very close.



When my truck was new I ran Stanadyne additive in every other tank for about the first 12000 miles and since then I have ran it in every tank ( granted I may have missed 1 or 2 tanks ) and I now have over 45000 miles on my motor and never a single motor problem.

I installed an Edge EZ on my 2003 the day after I bought it and ran that cause there was nothing else for the third gens at that time, then when the TST came out I ordered and installed it and still no problems.

Your truck has had no problems because, like mine, it's an uber cool 03 SO



I have 106k as of yesterday on mine with not a single issue other than a false check gauges light I'm still trying to figure out... My truck has had stanadyne ONE time back when I first bought it, previous owner said he never used anything...

or is it the pressure boxes?

That is my thought. Every thread I have seen have mentioned some kind of pressure box. I've posted on other threads that after seeing all that I won't ever run one. I had planned on stacking an EZ with my tst but not anymore. My TST gives me more than enough power to pull my 14k pounds of trailer/trail rig anywhere I go so I don't need anymore. I need reliability when I'm towing half way across the US. I do need a new clutch though...
