Bad stiction issues 7.3 powerstroke mmo?

Power Service I just learned also has a newer product in a gold bottle that is a more concentrated fuel system cleaner than the grey bottle, which Walmart allegedly started carrying or will be soon. That might be worth a shot.

Hopefully the pickup foot on the bottom of the tank sending unit hasn’t broken off. It happens on all of them eventually and causes real trouble when the tank falls below 1/4, and it’s kind of a pita to fix.

Walmart has it in stock now. In our local store they put it with the antifreeze, not with fuel additives. Obviously that may vary with who works in your local store. Just a heads up to have a look around if it's not on the shelf with the others. I still like the Redllne or EDT.
The problem with HUEI injectors is that it is a problem that needs attention on both the oil and fuel side. Most threads only address one side of the problem.

Actually kind of interesting and what I’ve suspected the case is before:

I would run hotshots EDT in every tank and every like 4th oil change put in a qt of the hotshots stiction eliminator product and run it for the 5K miles OCI.. When i sold the 2003 7.3L truck in '24 with 278K miles and start up was within 2-3 seconds, and just a puff of black smoke in cold.
