Seafoaming Vacuum Lines?

I'm guessing this would also be a beneficial treatment to do prior to changing plugs? I believe my plugs are still original, just about to roll 85,000 on my truck and it sometimes skips around 50 mph when feathering the gas. No codes thrown yet but I do believe i'll be replacing plugs and coil packs in the spring. Anyone think seafoaming prior to plug extraction would be beneficial?

I looked into this a few weeks ago. I discovered that the brake booster hose is attached to the intake in a way that the sea foam will not enter all cylinders. The bottom line is, using that hose will only clean some cylinders.
I found a nipple on the passenger side of the throttle body with a rubber cap over it. I was going to pour sea foam into that, but I wasn't getting any vacuum. Can anyone recommend a location that feeds ALL cylinders?

Save yourself a few bucks and drizzle in some cold water through the brake booster vacuum line. You will get the same result as using seafoam. All your doing is introducing a cold liquid into your hot valve train resulting in a steaming effect which at best results in, maybe breaking loose some carbon deposits off of the intake valves and combustion chambers resulting in said deposits being ingested through your engine resulting in scored cylinder walls and increased oil consumption. Personally I think it's all a bad idea, just my 2 penny's.
