That's great....

Fellow Vegistroker aka Chenry is on this site, hopefully you can speak with him...

[stump0331]

good luck with that

I wish you luck, but I think you're going to find that vegi is a no-no with 6.0 injectors.

I was under this impression as well. HOWEVER, that is why I said hopefully he can speak with CHenry since he's waiting on the final analysis to come back. It's actually more possible that it was injector design that failed him rather then the vegi.

With that being said, I wouldn't go vegi in a 6.0 though. Injectors cost alot of money

Do you know something we dont? Done some R&D of your own?
If so, by all means I would love to hear it.
The is no evidence at all, anywhere in the vegi community that vegi will harm any part of an injection system - when done properly. The FN74 system is a very robust system and it has been designed properly. My injectors went south but i am waiting on an analysus of the failed injector as well as a report from the lab on a sample of my Vegi oil to determine if my failure had anything to do with the fuel. All bets (in the vigi oil community of experts) are that the injectors in my 2003 model 6.0 were bound for failure the day that truck was built. In fact, added lubrication from vegi oil MAY have slowed the failure. In other words, i may have been replacing those injectors 5000 miles ago instread of now had I not started using vegi oil. That of course is speculation but seriously 720, you sound like somewhat of an educated voice in this matter and I would like to challenge you (just a friendly challenge) to back up your statement with some solid facts.

Thats great! Maybe we can get together and have an install party with cold beer and some grilled hamburgers. Do you have a shop to do the intstall inside?
If you need some help, we can hook up and meet at your place or mine and compare notes on the subject.
I'm in Tuttle, OK, not far from OKC at all.
I also have a supply of excess vegi oil to fill your tank when you get ready for it.

Well Clay, I hear you say a lot, but the strongest words from you that prove my point were when you basically said that you were going to fix the 6.0 then dump it and get a 7.3! No matter what front you put up here, your final actions will speak much louder than the words. The vegi "experts" have a lot at stake here. If I sold you an expensive system and you had motor failure after using that system, you bet your @$$ that I would blame everybody else including the Pope before I took any credit.

Now that the fun is over, my point was that '03-'04 6 litres have been prone to injector failure and this is well documented. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you have to pay for 8 new injectors when the truck should have still been under warranty? If the vegistroke system voids the warranty on an engine that has proven a dire need for that warranty then it would definitely be a no-no to use that system wouldn't it?

I am by far no expert on this matter. I just use a common sense approach and then voice my opinion. It is nothing more than my opinion and should be taken as such.

Thats all good and your correct, i had no warranty coverage because of the moded fuel system. That was not the cause of failure, that was a gamble i took with the warranty when i installed it. No, the ones arguing that the vegi had nothing to do with the failure are not at all related to anyone i purchased anything from. The independant injector specialist i have talked to have all said vegi o il doesn't cause this kind of failure. This whole ordeal has taken alot of turns and is still in the transition process. My thinking has changed weekely as I have learned new things from this. If in fact I trade off this truck, it will have nothing to do with vegi oil and injectors....just injectors period because of the (as you stated) reputation they have for short longevity. I am burnin g vegi oil in my new injectors already. If i was afraid of the vegi oil, i would not be doing this. The 7.3s simply have a more robust injection system no matter what type of fuel you have.
So yes, my actions speak for themselves, i just replaced 8 injectors last week and this week i have a new, full 90 gallon tank of vegi oil in my truck and i will use it with confidence unless the injector analysus comes back with negative results showing the fuel did in fact have something to do with the initial problem.
Your opinion is great, i just thought maybe you knew something i didn't and I wanted to learn it as well. Like i said, I have learned alot from this experience and i am always willing to learn from anyone who can teach me something.
I am going after the facts as we speak and I will post the results for all to know when i get those results.
