Default 2006 5.9L Cummins - ULSD

I'm trying to find this but I can't connect the dots on this. With ULSD fuel, are there any additives I *should* add that would compensate for the low sulfur? Will the Drew's Brew variants alleviate that? Hard to make heads or tales of it all.

I'm in Kalifornistan so want to make extra sure the CARB racketeers don't ruin my truck.

Thanks,
Matt

to answear planly, yes, technicly ever tank you suppose to put a some sort of additive in, the oil companies compensated some what for the loss in lubricity, but not all the way, it would have drove the price up way to high. Drew's brew is good stuff to, it's also an antigel agent.

Thanks. I read the faq item on it and actually went to the web site of the manufacture of one of the ingredients and it's a lot clearer! https://dodgeforum.com/forum/dodge-ram-diesel-tech/76132-drews-brew-explained-read-me-faq.html .

My truck did not like the Drews Brew. I am currently running TCW-3 2 stroke oil at 200:1 ratio (.64oz per gallon). My truck seems happier with this.
