yeah it's good, it's probaly the best out there. But it's not horsepower in a can. But it will clean things up inside. I put a can in when I change oil every 3000 miles.

your only suppose to let it suck up a little at a time. i unhooked a vaccumm line and let it suck in a little. the truck will idle a little rough while doing it but its ok. if you can, let a buddy apply a little pressure on the gas and you should be good to go.

How many miles do you have on your truck? The few times I’ve done it I put about 1/2 of the can in through the vacuum line off the brake booster or any line from the intake manifold. At idle just let the vacuum suck up the seafoam making sure not to stall the engine out by adding too much at a time. After that turn the engine off and wait about 5 minutes then restart and see the cloud form.

I took some pics when I did it to my old Lexus but cant find them. I did it in a parking lot and the Parks department came to see if everything was alright. I let it run a while but then on the highway there was a cloud behind.

I am giving that CRC MAF cleaner a whirl tonight. Didn't see hardly anything, but these sensors are extremely sensitive.

I used the sea foam on my old truck (Gmc Sonoma) it had 240,000 on it at the time and it got me to pass the emission test I failed the first time

As for the smoke wow it did smoke a lot I lived in a cul-de-sac at the time and the whole circle was full of smoke even the neighbors came out.

remove the PCV valve and use that vaccum line. works like a charm since that line sucks it right into the intake anyways.
