What do y'all mean by spraying it in the intake and "blowing it out"? If this stuff works like y'all say I'm going today to get some and try it bc my truck has gotten VERY sluggish hear lately!

Just what I said. It breaks apart contaminants and it gets them out through the exhaust

Here's a step-by-step on Seafoam treating an engine.
http://www.rangerpowersports.com/for...on-176466.html
It is on a Ranger forum, but will work for F150s as well. There aren't any pictures, and most of the info is in the very first post. I've done it to my old Ranger, and used the other half of the can on a Silverado with some work done, and neither gave bad results. My Ranger (3.0 OHV) ran smoother afterwards.

If you notice results after you do it, let us know!

There's 2 methods to this madness. First method: draw 1/3-1/2 can into engine via a vacuum line feeding all cylinders. Let set for 15 mins or so after shutting engine off. Start and drive vigorously. Caution fumes can be extreme for some time.
Method 2: they now make an aerosol can with a straw attached that you place into the intake tube a 1/4 on from throttle plate and spray approx 1/2 can into engine and the rest is the same as afore mentioned method.

First method I've done with good results the more smoke you have the more carbon that was in your engine that is now getting burnt and blown out the tail pipe. I'm about to try the second method and will report back in about an hour.

Not a fan of the aerosol method cost more and just ended up spraying into a vacuum line anyway. Works the same tho.

Ok so I just left o'rillys and they put it in for me. They put it in and told me to start it and poured the deadpan in while it was running. Then when after pouring it in the told me to blow it out and that was it besides pouring the rest of the can in the gas tank?? Is this the right way?
