Owner Operator Testimonial
"I am looking forward to a long business relationship." |

HHHHMMMM.... free is always good, so let the hunt begin! Upon wandering around the yard I found a wrecked truck and proceeded to open the side boxes. Inside was 3 gallons of Orion 5000. I was immediately impressed with the labeling on the containers and instantly figured this was not your typical "truckstop snake oil".
Having no financial investment in the product I figured I had nothing to loose. After viewing some more wrecked trucks I said my "Thank you's" and took my new found prize back to my truck. I followed the instructions on the label and added a bit more for good measure. After all it can't hurt and I didn't have to pay for it, rite? Having little faith at first, do to so much "snake oil" on the market I was skeptical at best.
Within 200 miles of my trip my truck seemed to respond better and was definetely pulling the hills easier. I was suprised.
Running a steady run from Nashville Tn to Western Pa, I am very familiar with large hills. My average load is near 80,000 lbs. I was shocked when I was no longer splitting gears on hills. My pyrometer temp also dropped almost 200 degrees and my water temp was also much cooler. Being very suprised buy a product that I found in a wrecked truck in salvage yard, I was very schocked.
Being a skeptic, I thought it was just a fluke, and decided to keep using the Orion 5000 when filling up. My results were slowly more power, lower operating temps and almost .4 gain in mpg. Impressed with the results I contacted Orion and am looking forward to a long business relationship.
Please keep in mind I run a small trucking company and run older Kenworth trucks. Areodynamics trucks are not in our fleet. My personal truck is a 96' W900, 540 hp 12.7 Detroit diesel, 355 rears, 10 spd overdrive, 285 wheelbase, pulling a dry van in hilly terrain at 64 mph average. My typical average is 5.4 mpg. With Orion I am close to 5.9-6.0 mpg. Needless to say my "free investment' has turned out to be a greatly added asset.
