Has anyone ever done a seafoam tuneup to their truck?
 
I did mine a little bit ago when i hit 163,000 miles and the results were pretty good. Including my idle and throttle response
And i heard it creates alot of smoke so i decided to record it and all i could say was wow

LOL that guy that went by you at the end was probably cursing you. How did you inject it?

Yeah, what exactly is a seafoam tuneup? I need to do something to clean out my truck a little bit

sea foam cleanup is to help clean the engine out of gunk and sticky ringsand helps clean out your fuel system also helps remove carbon build up
i just did a sea foam treatment on my brothers 4wheeler actually just got back from it
im thinking about doin it to my truck
as it really probably needs it bad

Haha I just worded my question wrong... I mean to say how exactly do you do it

Basically. You throw 1/3 in the oil to get out moisture but I use prolong because that stuff works wonders. Then you put 1/3 into the gas tank and 1/3 in the brake booster vacuum line.

And if your engine is a bit dirty put 2/3 in the brake booster and the rest in the gas tank then change your oil.

sounds good ill be doin the same thing to my truck next week but i wont be putting some in my oil as money is tight right know and my car is more of a priority as it needs a new relay for the turn signals which coincidently controls power to the ac and heat so as its summer time im sweatin my a** off in it

Seafoam tune up is AWESOME.

My 98 Tahoe:

Ticking lifter at start up had turned into tuicking lifter every second forevahhh
Low oil pressure

I Seafoamed that puppy three times in one week as directed each time.

Gas tank, oil and directly into the engine each time.

Results:

No ticking lifter.
Increased Oil pressure.
Increased fuel economy.
Smoother, more quiet running.

I am a believer.

The one thing I did in addition was start using a K&N oil filter (That helped a lot with the oil pressure which had slipped down bad)

I have to figure out how to do it with a 03 burb and 06 silverado as far as the engine injection is concerned. You have to apply if via the correct vacuum tube...

Seafoam. It works. Period.
