A simple, cheap & easy trick to try is....buy a 16oz. can of Sea Foam from any auto parts store or Walmart.......dump (1.5oz. of Sea Foam to 1 quart of oil) into your oil, your truck holds 7 quarts of oil so, 10oz. will do. Dump the other 6oz. in your fuel tank. Run the Sea Foam in the oil for at least a couple hundred miles, then change your oil. You may have to do it a couple times to loosen up all the carbon.

Nothing in Seafoam's MSDS has any ability to 'loosen' carbon.

The 'smokeshow' is a placebo and is merely the pale oil burning off. Meanwhile, the other ingredients are busy pekkering yer cats and O2's, and over-temping the combustion chambers - that would be the uncontrolled naptha combusting.

This garbage has no business being anywhere near a modern sensor-laden closed-loop controlled engine. What's worse - this is the exact same forlmulation that's in their Trans-Tune product. I'd love to see some dumb, ignant fek dump this crap into their nice expensive tranny :lol:

Either use Techron, or get a dealer to perform a legitimate decarbon procedure, if that is suspected.

~OR~, yall kin strap on yer taped-up cokebottle glasses and don yer pocket protector-laden white lab coat, and play Mad Truckin' Chemist:
