    that'll clean the injectors pretty good.....but you still need to run it thru the intake for the ultimate cleaning.

    i wouldnt do it that way...............since there is a chance some could possibly come back and mess up the maf sensor. the easiest way is thru the brake booster line.

    It's the hose that hooks to your brake booster. The thick rubber one with the chinsy clamps.

    Somebody should write a DIY guide for this..

    My Tacos got 37K on it, should I go ahead and seafoam it? I'm gonna pick up a can soon anyway to do my Moms Sequoia (80K Miles). Might as well do the Taco too

    you're fine. it's just a good idea to change out the plugs if they're older, since the seafoam will change them a bit. it shouldn't affect new plugs much at all.

    sea foaming is great. just be careful not to hydro lock your engine after putting it through a vacuum line. to be safe about it, it's good to hit the starter a few times before starting the engine to make sure there's no fluid resting on top of a piston :)

    Has anyone added Seafoam to the crankcase yet? If so did you see a performance difference? How long after you put Seafoam in the crankcase do you leave it in for before changing your oil?

    Did it to an 03 w/ 130,000 a couple of motnths ago...
    1/3 in vacuum line
    1/3 in gas tank
    1/3 in Crank case
    Made a world of difference. we put it all in with about 1/2 tank of gas and drove around to do some errands to burn all the gas. Changed the oil after that. I would say as long as it's changed after 50 miles or there abouts you will be fine.

    So I did this today sea foam and deep creep sea foam in tb, is it normal for the truck to idle higher after? Im thinking that its just buring all of it out right?
