6.4L Upgrades and Aftermarket - EngineUpgrading or adding OEM or aftermarket equipment to your 2008-Up Super Duty truck with 6.4L Power Stroke diesel engine. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 6.4L Power Stroke engine.
I'm curious to see if anyone on here has any experience using a Fitch Fuel Catalyst? They have a kit available specifically for the 6.4: Fitch Fuel Catalyst - Product Details
I saw an episode of "Truck U" - and they were installing one on a Dodge diesel.... I don't think they gave any performance numbers.... but it looked really easy to install.

I had one put on a truck at work to see what would happen. It's a V10 though - not a PSD. We saw NO inprovement with mileage.

I have one, still in the box.
I looked under the chassis near the fuel filter where they say you can install it,,,,I dont have that much energy.
There is alot of test results on they're site that lured me to try it, but I just dont feel like messing with mounting the thing in the frame.

Reason: Rules Violation
I have one on my 450. It is actually a pretty easy install, it just looks intimidating. I was not overly impressed with it, but I think I gained .5 mpg. I have had it on for quite awhile.

Ok... apparently there are two different ones available for the 6.4L truck. Which ones are you guys running.... the bone stock truck one... or the one for a truck making over 400 horsepower?

When I got it there was only 1, so I would assume it is the bone stock one. However since my truck will soon be making well over 400hp, if there is any problem it will be coming off.

Did you mount it in the frame or near the booster?
Isn't it a little close to the front drive line?

Don't waste your money. I am usually very wary of snake oil products, but after seeing it demo'd on Horsepower TV I thought it had some merit, however, it made no difference one way or the other on my truck. It's now taking up space on my shed wall as a reminder of my getting suckered in.
Yeah they reviewed it in Diesel Power also and thought it worked, that is why I went ahead and gave it a shot. Like I said I got a little increase in MPG but not worth the price.
I mounted it on the inside of the frame, basically under the drivers seat. It is nowhere near the driveline.

Ok.... I've got it all mounted up. If anyone is interested.... I've found a really easy way to install it that is super clean. I've got a 700 mile trip coming up.... I'll keep you posted if it makes any difference.
