yeah...lol i was looking more for a good fuel injector cleaner and i have never really used any.....I just had heard good things about the lucas and wasnt sure what all else was out there? looks like the lucas may be the way to go!! may also run the PM3 through too like an induction cleaning but just worried about fowling out my new plugs and o2.

I read deep in to the fuel injector cleaner debate last summer and the general consensus was that some do indeed work better than others (I believe the chevron techron stuff was somewhere at the top of the list with lucas nowhere to be found). I ran lucas through my '02 4.0 sohc and it didnt seem to help anything... once I ran the chevron through it felt like a whole new truck. Just some food for thought.
