I have used sea foam on my truck once.. It seems to have cleaned everything out real nice. The last time I used it was when my truck had about 150K miles on it. Now it has about 190K Miles. I added it when I filled my truck up with gas. You will notice an increase in power and better throttle response. I always added in with oil when I changed it.
I also ran it through the vacum line. that is where the fun begins. As you empty the can into the vacum line, you need to make sure you are giving it throttle. You do not want the engine to die on you while you are adding the sea foam. If you have a 2002 or older it is easier as you can just pull on the throttle cable as you are pouring.. If you have a Electronic throttle, you may need someone to assist.
If you see a alot of smoke comming out of the exhaust then you know you have a lot of build up. Just keep pouring until 1) you run out 2) the smoke clears away.
