New (to me) F350...

[flyat450]

Hello All,
New Powerstroke owner with a 2000 F350 SRW, 88k mi. that I bought a couple of months ago. It couldn't have worked out better being that I looked for a long time far and wide for, actually an F250, but anyway... Found it in my hometown from a lady who had pulled a two-horse trailer several times to auctions and rodeos. The truck is completely stock and has never seen a tuner. I have done some research on these trucks before and after the purchase and I'm still learning the strengths and shortfalls of the truck (i.e. auto door locks, etc.)
As I was reading about ULSD, I was wondering whether I should purchase any additive for the fuel. Some say that the new fuel will shorten injector life and others say I should be ok as long as I buy a quality fuel. Unless diesel skyrockets...again...I plan to keep this truck for a long time so I'm going to do what I can to get my 500k mi. out of this 7.3!!
Thanks

- Glad to have you jump in here with us.

Fuel Additives: There are many that are good.
I've used the MotorCraft one available at the dealer or online.
I've used PowerService Diesel Kleen (Available at Walmart - Gray bottle for warmer weather, White for colder weather (like freezing - Diesel fuel can gel if it gets too cold.) The white bottle has anti-gel chemicals in it.) There is Stantadyne (Haven't used it myself) and others. The lower sulfur content in ULSD is the issue. Fuel additives helps with lubricity.

Thanks. 'Guess I'll be buying that tonight at the local WM. If the additive will help it will be a lot cheaper than prematurely replacing injectors.
