By Diesel Minded | Published 04/3/2007 | Maintenance | Unrated
This procedure has shown to help 24 valve ISB engines. It is basically teaching the fly by wire accelerator on these trucks to reread the position of the pedal and it's limits. Most complaints this will help with is poor acceleration, improper shifting, bucking in 5 and 6 speeds. Has been known to increase fuel mileage in some instances.

This simple plug-in device allows you to get an additional 10% horsepower and torque from your engine! Add it with injectors for a super combination! When using the ADD with boxes that have a MAP Sensor provision, always plug the ADD directly into the MAP Sensor, then plug the box harness to the ADD. To explain it simply: The ADD has a microprocessor that acts as a electronic voltage regulator, thus never allowing the engine computer to see an over-boost signal.

My wise old mechanic who has worked on Mercedes for years told me that if I put one gallon regular gas to a diesel tankfull after about every four tanks that it would perform essentially the same job as a fuel injector cleaner at a fraction of the cost.
