I put in marine TC-W3 2 stroke oil every other tank...works great. One oz per 5 gallons gas cleans and lubes the pump/injectors/plugs/combustion chamber....and it's a lot cheaper than lucas/FP-60 etc.

 

Run 89 octane with a Hemi and Stock tuning.















That is all.

 

I filled up yesterday with 89oct. and this morning on my way to work I noticed the truck seem to be running better. Better throttle response and seem to get up and go easyer, I still have the noise in the engine tho. Sounds like lifter noise

 

Are you sure the "noise" is simply not just the famous "Hemi Tick"?

 

Not sure, it seems louder then when I got the truck so guessing it isn't. over the weekend the truck was serging as I was driving it, my wife started yelling at me to stop, so I started laughing and told her the truck has a mind of it's own and is doing it by it's self. Wasn't me doing it at all. The engine light is on going to check codes tonight on it.

 

Has anyone had a dealer step up on covering repairs after the warranty is up? Our 04 suddenly developed a bad miss in # 2 cylinder, and after spending $ 750.00 on EGR, wires, plugs, fuel injectors cleaned by a shop,trying to fix it, we had it towed home. It has 90K miles After reading thid thread, it looks like we found the reason for the miss! Seems like the dealer/manufacrurer should be responsible for faulty maintenance instructions. Joel

 

I've read a lot about the benefits of running TC -W3 but have never tried it. I've got an unopened gallon of OMC from when I had my Bass Boat.
Might have to give it a try in the Truck and the Jeep. I've never seen anything negative reported by those who've done it, so what the hell...

Good luck, but with the company in dire straights, and FIAT sure ain't gonna look to appease any existing owners, I doubt you'll get anywhere with the dealer on covering anything on a truck with 90k miles. But hell, it's worth a shot.
Again, every time someone has a cylinder go, it's always someone running 87 octane fuel. I don't understand the mentality of the guys that say "well I'm running 87, cause the manual says you can get away with it". Documentation will tell you people survive being struck by lightning, but I don't see too many people holding up steel rods in a thunderstorm.......

 

^+1 i tried 87 for a month and it wasnt worth it to save a few extra dollars

 

Like the saying goes" Pay a little now or pay alot later!" I ran nothing but 89, because thats what the Factory recommended, Until I got the Tuner and now I run 93. Run what you want in your truck but if you run nothing but 87 we'll see ya back in your Post about your Cylinder going to crap!

 

Even when I had my tuner set to the 87 I still ran the 89 before I switched over to the 91 tune. There is a $0.10 difference between the 87 and 89 and then again between the 89 and 91 here (I dont know what the difference in prices are where you guys are). Usually I fill up 20gal everytime I fill up, so between 87 and 89 its a $2.00 difference and between 87 and 91 is a $4.00 difference. So I really dont see the need to try and pinch penny's here.
