Well u guys already know that my injector #8 has been acting funny. I figured that the injector isnt lubricanted well, because my truck doesnt have blue or white smoke coming out of the exhaust. So whats the best lubricant for the injectors? Whats the best over the counter product?

Yeah I think that this new diesel is really dry. Injector shop I went to when I had to buy a new pump and 8 injectors for my 05 said they wouldn't even think about running a diesel truck without some kind of lubricant. I had no idea of course, ordinarily wouldn't have paid it any mind because I think a lot of that kinda stuff is snake oil, but if I do keep any of my diesel trucks I might just start using Stanadyne, which is what they suggested or 2 stroke oil- they said that was really good as well. I don't know, pretty soon diesels are going to be gone with all the epa stuff. Pretty sad. I am going to have to pay about $10,000 more in a few years to buy a john deere tractor or dozer because of Tier 4 final then I will have to pay big cash when they blow up. End rant.

I just took Regular diesel and mixed a quarter of Biodiesel with it. The truck seems to idle smoother, and the 8th injector doesnt CLACK hard anymore. So maybe that helped lubricate it. I wish I could find some High Sulfur Diesel, it seems like when everyone switched to Low Sulfur, the fuel got more dirty. I miss high sulfur diesel lol
