When you use the stuff, your vehicle smokes REALLY bad.. I had my little brother holding the RPM at 2,000.. and when I looked up to tell him to keep it steady, I saw my whole yard filled with smoke.. it's hilarious. Then you turn the vehicle off, wait 5-10 minutes and start it back up and drive around till the smokes gone.. it lasted a good 10 minutes of driving pretty hard. Every time I'd stop and go, there was a big poof following me, and smoke just pouring out filling the whole neighborhood.

Someone's gotta make a video..

Thats what my truck looks like every day. It sucks when your transmission leaks right on top of your exhaust.

Hey Walker, I got my can at Advanced Auto Parts by Taco Bell.. $6 though like Andy said. I looked at Autozone right after when I went to buy my air filter and stuff.. didn't see any with the other related things, maybe they had it somewhere else. Just stop by when you buy it, I'll help you do it

I put about half a can sucked up through a small central vacuum line (so it goes to all cylinders) using a pair of pliers to squeeze the line and not let too much in. then I open the pliers and stall the motor with an overdose. I pour a little extra in the cylinders and leave it overnight to loosen up carbon, and then in the morning go drive the shit out of it. After that, I change the oil filter (not the oil) and put the other half of can in the crankcase. I idle it for about 45 minutes to an hour (not drive it, seafoam thins the oil and makes it real easy to spin a bearing, just idle, no revs) and shut the engine off and change the oil and filter again. After 1000 miles I change the filter one more time, its amazing the crud that is in there after only 1000 miles, and add a whole second can to a 1/4 tank of gas.

It works, when I am cheap I use kerosene and do the same thing but seafoam works even better. The next time I change the oil it is not uncommon for a big BLOOP of crud to come out of the oil drain.

I disconnected the rubber hose coming off my brake booster, poured half the can of Seafoam into a plastic cup.. had my brother keep the RPM at 2,000. Then just let the hose 'slurp' it up, don't let it completely go into the Seafoam.. you want it taking it in slowly with air, little at a time. I rested the hose on the side of the cup and tilted a little at a time.

After it was all gone, I let it run 30 seconds, shut it off.. added 1/4 can to gas, 1/4 can to oil.. let it sit 5 minutes, then drove around till it stopped smoking.

I've noticed a difference in accelerating.. seems to pick up speed quicker from a stop, and idles WAY smoother.

i got a couple of buddies that swear by it too! my buddy did his chevy 1500, sucked it up using the line off the brake booster. it sucked the seafoam can shut. it sucked the back of the can all the way to the front of the can. dont know if he did it right, its just how i seen him do it.
