Engine rattle
Australia
Ford
Ranger 2.4 Diesel
Ford 2.4L CRD engine. At around 50,000km the engine would occasionally produce a rattly pinging noise under acceleration from cold, but would disappear after a km or two. The rattle increased slightly, but at around 70,000km a severe and harsh rattle emerged. It became extreme within 3 days and sounded like the engine was in its death throws. CRD Fuel Enhancer was added to the diesel fuel, the rattle decreased immediately and disappeared within 100kms. It is believed an injector was sticking open allowing excess fuel to cause severe detonation. Damage was avoided, and at 120,000km (70,000km after the first rattle) the engine is still going well.
Engine Rattle, Noise

Noise disappeared!
Australia
This truck had a noisy gearbox and gear shifting was difficult. It had a roll over bearing type noise and was really due for a rebuild. He used AW10 in 2001. The noise disappeared in about 150km. It is still going well in 2006 and he’s now heading for 5 years grace from a rebuild!

Gear Shifting Much Smoother Now!
Australia
13 Speed Roadranger Overdrive Gearbox. Marr’s Haulage run 5 road trains and tried AW10 instead of a $3000 repair job in one gearbox that had become very notchy. Gear shifting and operation immediately became smooth. Four (4) years later and the gearbox is still in service. Use of AW10 in one of their engines resulted in a noticeable increase in oil pressure.
