Does anyone use Diesel Kleen Plus Cetane Boost? Although sold at Walmart for $17/gallon, it gets good press anyway.
Although I'm always a bit leery of "aftermarket" parts. I like to know where they are made and by whom so I can gauge quality. Might be a good back-up starter so that if you do encounter a sudden failure you can swap it in and then take your time to get your OEM starter properly repaired.
Yes, I have a gallon jug of Diesel Kleen in the back of my truck and been using it in my Cummins 5.9 since 2004 and it seems to be working (original injectors and pump doing fine). However, I make my own witches brew depending on what it is going in (truck or tractor or generator or long term storage). My brew always includes a shot of some extra lubricity (2 stroke oil) and might also include a Biocide and/or Diesel Clear if going in aux tank/long term storage. I'm going to give the PRI-D Diesel Treatment a try as its getting some strong recommendations (RustyStud here swears by it) once I use up my jug of Diesel Kleen. There are also a lot of other name brand diesel treatment additives that also work well based on independent testing results.
