 Seafoam
I have 88,000 miles on my vehicle.I heard about Seafoam and how it helps with carbon buildup.My 3.0 has been quite sluggish so I figured I would try this stuff.I poured 1/2 the can in the gas tank and 1/2 in the vacuum line with the truck running, then turned it off and let it sit for 10 min.When I restarted it the truck released a cloud of smoke that was beyond belief.My truck ran alot better, but my plugs went bad.My plugs have only 5000 miles so I took em back to where I bought em and I said Im not sure why they went bad and they gave me new ones under warranty.Truck runs like new

On a side note If you add it to your crankcase. By pouring it into where you add oil. You have to change the oil after your done. You can do 1 can in your truck pour some into the fuel tank, crankcase and have it sucked through the brake booster.

If you pour some into the crankcase though change your oil. When putting in the gas tank dont put in with over 1/4 tank of gas in there.
