Any thoughts on adding some trans fluid in the fuel? I've heard of DODGES being fairley responsive to the fluid, My buddy just tried it in his 2002 psd and said his mileage jumped up after about half a tank of the mix!!!!!!

i would not run trans fluid in the fuel. try ashless 2 cycle oil instead, or better yet, a dose of bio.

My vote also goes for tcw-3 or a bio blend. I used to run tcw-3 at a 1oz per gallon rate. I dont anymore because I found a steady supply of B-11! If you havent run either yet when you make the switch you should notice your injectors quieting down a bit. Hope this helps!

I never had a problem with my injectors gumming up but I did also use a premium synthetic tcw-3......I ran 1 oz to 1 gallon...i believe that is the correct ratio for replacing your lubricity.

Wow, I guess you guys are just talking about adding it as an additive. I know a guy who runs ATF 50/50 with diesel, he doesnt go more because ATF burns hotter, and EGT's get to high easily. I should add, this is all used ATF

So I should be allright to burn the ATF out and then switch back to the 2 stroke oil

You will be 99.9% okay....theres always a chance of something going wrong :D. I would start to get worried if you put in 20+gallons into your tank.

On another note, that guy who was running that I'm thinking has some coking issues from carbon buildup, because last I heard his truck was smoking pretty good.
