Exact same thing with me. No smoke and I put about 1/2 a bottle in the booster tube. I was thinking maybe clogged cats but I really have no clue. I just bought a temperature sensor from Harbor Freight for $30 so I'm going to check them out in a little while.

I threw a whole can in the gas tank and drove about 10 miles with no smoke.

You wont get smoke putting it in your gas.

Also, putting it in your gas will only potentially clean your injectors.

The proper way to do this is put 1/2 to 3/4 of the bottle through the vacuum hose on your brake booster and suck it through the intake manifold then shut the vehicle off, let it sit for 15-20 mins and then run it.

I like the responses about not wanting to put additives in your truck yet these same people put gas in their engines diluted w/ engine destroying ethanol.

I have had great success using sea foam in the tank and through the brake booster vacuum hose and yes lots of smoke, works great but it can foul plugs some times.
