Best Deal on Ceramic Treatment

http://www.umpquaenergy.com/xado/ I'm having trouble getting the link in here, but at least you can copy/paste if it doesn't work. This is not an affiliate link, and I can't make a dime off you.

Xado's treatment will last as long as 100,000 miles, although 60,000 is the lower end of that, and I will personally re-treat with a little more at that point.

Xado has a three-step treatment schedule; first at operating temperature, then after several hundred miles, and then again later on. The other stuff is a one-time treatment. I don't know if the three stages are actually better--it just seems to make sense to me.

For my truck (16-quart oil capacity translates to a little over 15 litres), I'll need six tubes, and will have a tad left over for my APU. That's 200 bucks, and about 33% cheaper than any other product I've seen.

This company also has a fuel-pump treatment, and gearbox treatment. I don't think I can use any of this in my automatic transmission--you certainly wouldn't in a car's. But the fuel-pump stuff is a given for me.

Just being helpful for the few owner-operators an maintenance chiefs who have actual human brains.

This company also offers a hydrogen generator, which is how I stumbled across it. It's an advanced, fancy little unit, but delivers only one third of the gasses that mine (Onboard Vehicle Hydrogen Generators!),

To get three of them would also cost a whole lot more.

I'll order my Xado and signal booster monday, after my second paycheck is en route and my addresses have been updated. I'll also get more HGH, carb blocker, etc.

Then I'll order my hydrogen generator the following friday. This will leave me with emergency repair funds, just in case. (I could handle about anything, but don't want to sell yet still more stocks).

I delivered here at DHL in Allentown PA last night. I've accepted a return trip from here that doesn't pick up til about 0100.

Normally I hate that swing-shift stuff--it will really mess me up. At about 4 pm I'll take one of my very effective herbal sleeping pills and a couple seratonins--I aspire to achieve inconsciousness by 1900, and get 5 hrs sleep.

It delivers to DHL Wilmington at noon tomorrow, where I'll most likely get another load right away (hopefully to someplace besides FLA). I can keep going as long as neccessary on five hours sleep, and will be sufficiently tired to get back on schedule.

Yeah--sometimes I deprive myself of a little sleep on purpose in order to get past shift-lag.

I pretty much had to take it, since there's zero deadhead miles and I'll save a lot of fuel. I should also save fuel by remaining at Wilmington DHL, and should get out of there on my next one within three hours.

Today, I'll play some internet poker, do more research, read my book, and ponder my damn mysterious coolant leak which I can't get fixed here without driving 30 miles.

Okbye.
