Sea Foam Help
BTW, you're not supposed to use the whole can in there. Forgot what the instructions say (1/3?).
I just slowly pour the Seafom in there. Didn't really want it to stall before I had put in everything. Shut it off for 15 mins, the turned it on. Smoked like crazy, then drove the smoke out of the car.
Also put some in the oil crankcase, then proceeded to change the oil after "smoking it out."

Quite a few people have done it and they seem to like it..
IMO - It's snake oil and I wouldn't put that crap in my motor ..

i bought my truck used, no telling how good of an owner the last guy was
maybe i should look into it. is it a pain to use, or is it pretty easy

Where did the cable break at ?
Bad Mileage? -
Throttle body cleaned - (by hand) - polished is best - Intake an exhaust have to match up somewhat - Two front O2's have to be in good shape and motorcraft plugs should be in her with a somewhat fresh set of COP's - you shoud see 16mpg easy..
You could have got a tank of sh^ty gas if this just happened ..

i cleaned the throttle body about 3 months ago. as for the intake and exhaust, i know, im about to order a magnaflow. the 02's are only a couple of years old, i had to replace them because there were throwing codes. motorcraft plugs are next on the list. and i thought i didnt have cop's? right now im getting like 10-12 mpg
Your Right , you have the coil pacs, my mistake - But yeah , that's below average mileage .. Do they test emissions or what not where you are ? - I guess most states do some kind of vehicle check nowadays .
The safe way to go on the exhaust is to get rid of the old cat setup - the whole thing and get one MAGNAFLOW HF cat per side - very O2 friendly and will pass Emissions - but best of all , she'll breath and perform as well . Definitely get better mileage than the 4 cat design ..
What do you want it to sound like ? quiet ? loud? I like the GT sound at take off - so do the woman
Get rid of the rear cats and replace with a strait pipe - leave the front ones alone and put a half way decent muffler in the back and you'll have good sound and more pickup..
