Default SeaFoam

This was insanely easy to do! Pop off the vac hose and start your truck, Then dip the hose into the bottle of SeaFoam,and let it suck it in, But if the engine is about to die definitely pull the hose out of the bottle. Then just dip it back in once it is running smoothly again but try to avoid the near killing of the engine. Let it sit, not running, for NO MORE than 5 minutes. Start that bitch back up and drive it around until the Cloud of white smoke inst pouring out of your engine. (Or just read the bottle for this info)

Cleans internals, such as injectors, fuel lines, throttle body, it practically cleans all of the gunk and carbon build up for a smoother idle and a nicer drive

All that...if USED PROPERLY...
Use it incorrectly and u may screw stuff up.
Many thousands of people use and love the stuff...but theres a handful who hate it probably becuase they didnt use it properly.

It can also cause carbon to free up and get stuck on your spark plugs. Usually a good idea to do this before you change them.

Will it clean the intake? Especially the area where the EGR goes in behind the throttle body. When i cleaned my TB, i noticed a ton of Carbon build up. I wanted to squirt the TB cleaner in there but I wasn't sure if that was safe. How can you clean the actual intake?
