50/50 transmission fluid and acetone is supposed to work well to. Haven't tried it though.

PBB Blaster for frozen bolts and nuts. If you can let it soak overnight and let it penetrate it will do the job and save busting a bolt.

A lot of the hot-rod Reno air race unlimited planes use "ADI" Anti-Detonation Injection aka; water & methanol as they some times run 80+" of manifold (boost) pressure.

I used to use additives, but after getting some solid advice, I use Zero additives now. All that medication can do nasty stuff, injectors, rings, valves, so on.
They say super singles will increase fuel usage, I've heard from .1/mile to .7/mile. If any, I'd go low. I don't like supersingles on my truck for a couple of reasons, but let's do the arithmetic. Diesel fuel, $2.40/g. If I save .1 mpg, and a set of supersingles would cost me $7 or $8K out the door with wheels and tires, how long will it take me to pay off those tires and get into the black column on my overall expense?
Too dang long, that's how long. I believe that good driving and good maintenance will optimize a diesel truck fuel economy. The rest? No thanks.TheDude1969 Thanks this. -
@NorthernMechanic

Berryman's chemdip b-12 and Marvel's..........Both are Abrasives and when I used Berryman's in an 05' f150 3v modular motor- Removing those infamous spark plugs was easy(didn't break a single 1) 129,000k on the clock..
Cleaned out the throttle Body. STUFF works!TheDude1969 Thanks this. -
