Hmmm.....Me and FX-All4-Me sea foamed his rig today, and had a similar result. Maybe there wasn't much blockage/buildup. Does it feel better, or is there any difference in throttle response? How many miles are on the truck?

weird, i poured mine into the vaccum line like it said but i used like half the bottle bcz i couldnt kill the engine with it like it said to do, i had to turn the key off, i put the rest in my oil and didnt have any to put in my gas tank. i let it sit for about 20 minutes and it smoked really bad, my entire driveway was covered in smoke.

I couldnt choke mine out either.I used the other half on my buddys ranger with 215000 miles and it started smoking as soon as i poured it in.

Thats what i figured,must be clean in there allready.the idle feels better and a little better throttle response and the truck has 118000 miles on it.

Did you make sure it was at operating temp before you applied it?

Seafoam is a petroleum based solvent that cleans your whole intake system. When applied properly, it works wonders.
