Talking Attention: MISSING,STUDDER ETC. problems

This is my own advice. I have been having problems with my truck studdering while driving b/t 45-52 MPH at a steady speed. When I go to speed up or anything it happens then.

I went through changing the coils packs,plugs and cleaned everthing.
I then thought it was my Torque converter messing up or something. Well I replaced it and it still did it.
As of now I am around 900.00 in the whole replacing everything an cleaning everything. Also im not really a mechanic so I dont work on anything unless I get brave and try to see what will happen.

How I got rid of this problem!
I first went and got my Tranny fluid changed. When they Changed it they ran the Lucas for trans in it to clean it out. $78.00
After having the tranny serviced the truck started doing that again.

Next
Went and bought a can of Sea Foam and unplugged the vaccum line and ran a whole bottle through. While running the engine and doing this, the smoke was everywhere for about 10 minutes. Turned the truck off and set for 10 minutes, then drove it around the block for 2 miles. $9.99 bottle of Sea Foam.

Solution. I think alot of us that are having this problem is from the injectors. Ever since I did this, the truck has not missed or anything and I have been trying to get it to do it for a couple of days now and it wont.

If you try this and curious about which like to run this in, let me know and ill give a pic or someone can post it here to see. I dont know how too.

Getting rid of that studder that anoyying, PRICELESS!

I love sea foam. That stuff works great. I used it in my 95 when I bought it. When I bought it would blow black smoke when I punched it, and it would bog on the highway. And also get terrible fuel mileage. I ran that stuff through. Fixed everything.

BAD Bent Crosshairs, BAD! Digging up old threads like it hasn't been talked about in 6 years.

Search "SeaFoam" and read until your eyes bleed.
There are haters and there are lovers.
I'm a hater and will say you are just wasting your money.
