Wow. It's been quite a while since I last posted here. Life got busy and retirement from truck driving came, I started a new business... time moves quickly...
Let me duly apologize to everyone who has PM'd me over the last 2 or 3 years, for not replying.
And I have several pages of PM's it looks like. I didn't mean to ignore folks, I just didn't happen back by, and failed to realize there were all of those messages. And aside from that I'm probably not nearly as interesting as I may have been before, since retiring from tanker driving. I've not driven in close to 3 years now. I miss the big trucks for sure, but not the DOT regs and such; it was just getting too crazy to keep up with. And taking quite a toll on the old body, too.
So how was it that I stopped back by anyway? Well... I was remembering a test that I did with Auto-RX at the behest of another forum member (Gary Allan I think) who paid for the product, and for my Dyson analysis. We ran the product through the 200k engine of my 1993 Escort (which is still going strong, though I've now given it to a friend who needed it).
I shared the pics of the condition of the sludge underneath the valve cover (before/after) and from the disassembled oil filter. And I shared my thoughts on the difference the treatment made for my little car--which was amazing, to say the least.
So I had decided to try some of the Auto-RX in my wife's 1994 Chevy pick up, with 255k on the 4.3 V6. And I googled the product name, and found BITOG threads on it... many of which were trashing the daylights out of the stuff!
So... I'm left to wonder if all of what I "thought" I experienced with my '93 Escort was psychosomatic?
At this point, I really don't think it was... the car's performance really picked up a lot. I attributed it to the piston rings loosening up from the carbon caking which had them trapped, dropping compression.
But heck... I'm not so sure now. Looks like I might be an idiot!
