My truck went in last night for an oil leak. It was diagnosed as a leaking front cover and my power steering pump is leaking all of which is covered under warranty. My question is my service writer is trying to sell my a 200 dollar injection service. My truck has 65k on it and im not sure if its necessary or not. What do you guys think?

If you actually drive the truck more than for just a grocery getter as in towing things and use the turbo's then I would pass. BG has a good product for gas engines for the injectors and such, never used the diesel. But then again if the car is used and not just a grocery getter then I have never seen an improvement. Tried it on my car and it did nothing besides give a warm and fuzzy feeling.

NO.
If it was a FORD recommended service they wouldn't likely be using BG products.
Tell him to do the warranty stuff and shove the injection service up his ass.

In all reality, it is not something that would hurt anything if you had it done. The fact is, it is call preventative maintenance for a reason, as it is meant to be done before a problem arises. It is all in the presentation of the service writer on how well they explains that. Necessary? No. A bad idea? No. Are you going to have problems down the road that could be prevented with this? Maybe
If the service also helps to clean EGR, intake, ect... It would for sure be a good idea as most know how gunked up the system can get.
Just an opinion on the outside looking in.

A quick google of bg diesel came up with this...it looks like it is not a ford service but, a shop add on.

I dont think its a bad idea but im just not sold on it at the moment my truck has 65k on it been deleted and tuned since 40k and i always run stanadyne fuel treatment. The service guy also wanted to charge my 50 bucks to clean my battery terminals.:jawdrop:
