Default seafoam!

Ok so I k.ow there are tons of seafoam threads out there, but none of those can answer my question! So I seafoam my truck today, added 2/3 of a cup in the brake booster line let it sit for 5-10 minutes! I turned it on and nothing! Did I do it correct ? Also when can I use it again? Can anybody tell me hoe to do it correctly, with pictures!

Sounds like you did it right, and that you had a very clean engine to begin with. I did mine recently with the same results. Mine already ran just fine, but I did it anyway figuring that it couldn't hurt. Did my son's 97 Z28 at the same time. His poured smoke for a few minutes, and runs quite a bit better now.

I should change my spark plugs! My parents didn't change them at 100,000! My buddies shop is charging me 100 bucks to change them that sound right? Also I want to seafoam my moms car a 2008 pt cruiser, sometimes it will change first gear kinda weird! Problem is I don't know where the brake booster is at!

If he's only charging you 100 bone to change plugs jump on it!! He's either crazy or giving you a smasher of a deal!

Then he must not know the problems these 5.4's can have with the plugs breaking? But if he's willing to do it for 100 id be all over it! Does that include the price of the plugs? I thought the plugs themselves were somewhat expensive! Ive been putting off my plug change for fear of what it's going to cost!
