Walnut shells. I chit you not.

What they don't do, for sure, is use a pale oil & naptha c0cktail.

Good grief, what crap. Listen to Labnerd - I've said it before.

I am abeliever that sea foam does work. I noticed on my 97 4.6 that after using it my milage went up slightly and the idle was smoother.

 

Italian tune up!

 

974sixer your truck looks great for 10 years old and alomst 200k.

 

I'm not to crazy about seafoam as I once was. I think Seafoam's works best to assist you in cleaning things up inside. Taking it apart and using a little bit of Seafoam and elbow grease is when it's worked best for me..

If your injectors are dirty , why clean them when you can get a new set on ebay cheap!!

 

unless your eyeballin 42#and 60#....

 

Yeah , stockers are cheap tho..Hows the arm?

 

Considering Accel coil packs or the new MSD's or whatever along with some #24's and an adjusted tune from Mike this summer, but I'm trying to talk myself into holding off till 100K mi.

 

I have always used the Lucas stuff.

 

Enlighten me please. I've got walnut shells for my sandblaster but how do you use them to remove carbon build up?

 

best way to keep carbon out! drive it like u stole it! or get some direct port nitrous injection. it will clean the motor out!

 

i went with the accels less expensive more spark. more reliable.

 

i live in California and drive a 1993 f150 w/a 4.9 I6 i use something called lucas oil products they make fuel, trans, and crank oil additive its GOOD stuff
i HIGHLY recommend it!!

I have a 2007 | 4.2L | V6 & I'm staring down at my first oil change. I was going to dump the factory oil for my own when I first bought the truck, but figured why not at least get the use of what I paid for? After all, the price of my truck included all the fluids that came with it.

So the plan is to slowly but surely replace the factory fluids with Lucas products at the service intervals. I'm trying to find a local vendor for the Lucas 5W20 motor oil, but without any success, here in the San Francisco Bay Area. It looks like I'll have to either buy whatever is available at my local Kragen, or order my oil in the mail & factor in the shipping cost with the price of my oil change.

Six quarts @ eight to ten US Dollars for any premium oils (Redline, Royal Purple, Amsoil), plus a K&N oil filter, is going to make for very expensive oil changes. But if I really wanted to save money, I would have bought a Honda.

The other alternatives would be dealer service, or going to those little mom & pop shops for the $19.95 special & taking a chance with whatever soy sauce viscosity oil they pour out of those 55 gallon drums & a filter that may or may not even filter my drinking water effectively.

Does anyone out here on The Left Coast have a good mechanic or motor oil source?

 

I do. I am located right here in San Rafael. We specialize in Mercedes but I personally own a 2004 Ford F-150 and am always willing to help out another blue oval fan. Let me know if you are still looking for some help. I have SWEPCO (its what i use, its what we put in any high performance/high output engine we service oh and we use it in any Unimog we work on!), Mobile 1 syn, Mobil Delvac and other Oils in stock, can get any oil real quick (if you want something we don't have) E-mail me: Euroauto@sonic.net for more info.
