I decided to seafoam my truck and take a video
|
Cleaned everything out though I bet. It's a great product and does one helluva job.
|
Hey Guys.....I have never heard of Seafoaming. Can you explain this please. Thanks
|
Seafoam is a cleaner, comes in a 12 or 16 oz can and can be added into your fuel tank or pulled by vaccuum into the intake. It's a great cleaner to remove intake deposits and buildup along intake runners as well as the valves and piston sleeves. When added to the fuel, it cleans lines and injectors much better than most fuel additives. The smoke he's getting is from the intake process, it takes a few minutes for it to all blow through.
|
If i read correctly the white smoke is the carbon burning in the cylinders
|
You read correctly, that and the residual seafoam. If you were to be able to see a before and after of the upper plenum, you would see a drastic difference. One of the nice things is that seafoam is sensor safe also, so it does help clean from intake to exhaust tip.
|
thats why its good
im not in the mood to replace O2 sensors that love to weld themselves in |
To save yourself that fate, take them out and throw anti-sieze on the threads.
|
When I turned wrenches for a living, I used it religiously on parts that would have to come back out at some point. Mainly to save bloody knuckles if I was the cat who had to do it lol.
|
dont forget the seafoam you can also put in your oil just before a oil change to help clean the oil pump and what not out also can be used in yoru trans
i dont recomend doing that unless you feel like doing a complete trans flush which isnt easy @ wiked yoru exsaust sounds freakin awsome i think i am gonna go with a setup simaler to yours when i redo mine |
Hey cub, be careful about trans flushes. A higher mileage, heavy worn trans is much more likely to fail after having one. That being said, a good drain, new filter and upgrade to a goof synthetic, amsoil, redline, lucas etc is a good thing.

anyway that beings said i replace everything at 3,000 trans filter and fluid oil and filter plugs wires ect. but yes they are more prone to fail after a flush if its high milage |
Another cleaning trick, when you do a coolant system flush, add a cup of liquid tide in the radiator when you refill. It keeps everything clean and prevents scale buildup.

if you want ill take an exhaust clip and then drive with the camera on my bumper or something (tied down ofcourse) |
That's the advantage of that series 10. They really do sound good
|
thats why i went with it
i was iffy about getting it at first due to it being loud and neighbors but i said screw it and went with it anyway and im really glad i did i almost got a glasspack |
message to mrdragon.....thank-you for the post, now I understand.
|
No problem altyson. I'm here to help when I can and explain things on a down to earth level rather than get too technical. Wiked, the flowmaster is just a nice yhroaty muffler. It may be a little loud but as long as you're not hammering the throttle all the time the neighbors should be cool. I'm not a big glasspack fan, like cherry bomb or thrush. However, when you're talking old hotrods or old street trucks, nothing sounds like the old Smithies. They're sooo smooth it's sikk.
|
Well when i had my 4.8 on straight headers when i parked it for good my one neighbor loves it the other one says the sound reminds him when he was younger and there were alot more cars that sounded like that
so i have neighbors that really dont care lol |
my truck already has duel exaust
but here the thing with it it is only manifolds down to couplers then tubing right then right before the cab ends there are glass packs thats it nothing else i love how loud it is but its not a good sound its got the rumble but its more snappy and raspy then anything kinda like a 4 wheeler i will be getting the series 10s then the exsausht tubing thats all im gonna put on mine i think im just gonna take off the glass packs and smittys is a great brand just expensive for me @wiked how long did it take ya to do all your exsausht im thinking of having my brothers friend do it in one day if possible |
That's the trademark of glasspacks, the cackle. I never much cared for it myself. Flowmaster has a great note and the magnaflow warlock is a great one too.
