I've been trying to research what is the best fuel additive that I should use in my LMM (2008 sierra). All of the research i'm finding is from 2006 - 2007 not finding anything that will help in my truck any help will be greatly appreciated. Just looking to better fuel economy and help the truck last forever.
LMM Diesel Additive

I use XDP's additive and never used anything else because I have noticed significant fuel mileage increase and the price is very affordable especially when they run specials
Where is a good place to get the XPD I haven't been able to find it locally in Phoenix Arizona.
Ive only had my truck since LATE November but I use power service with cetane boost and 911 occasionally. Ill probably grab some stuff for when its warmer. (Obviously you dont need any 911 in phoenix haha)
I don't run any additive ever. 158,000 miles on it, zero issues. And especially being in Phoenix you don't have to worry about gelling issues.
X2 on not using additives. Always had bad luck with power services and never had any gain with anything else!
ok any recommendations on how to get better fuel economy I don't want to spend thousands of dollars because honestly I don't have that kind of money. Currently on a full tank 26 gallons of fuel hand calculation is 14.1 80% is freeway speeds with some traffic
That's from crappy fuel. All you have to do is turn the knob on the bottom of filter to drain water.
Obviously... I get my fuel from the same place for the past 3 years. Only time I have got the lights on an crappy accel is after adding the power services
Kinda off subject but would running a cr on off road diesel in a pinch be harmful to the injectors?
A friend of mine from school mixes 1/2 quart of ATF, 12 oz of Power Service, and a full bottle of Heat and puts that into every tank on his Cummins.. I think its overkill but he never has any issues and says he can tell a difference in the way it runs when he does vs doesn't. I just run Power Service and ATF, and Iv'e never had any issues.
ATF in your diesel? Sorry may be a stupid question but ATF is transfluid right?
Still trying to learn all I can about diesels
