2005 Expedition what line to use Seafoam.

[4x43V]

I read the brake booster line is a good vacuum hose but I have two that connect to the brake booster. I pulled one off but there is no suction at all? The other line looks to be attached with no way of pulling it off the brake booster without rupturing the line.

It did it and I used the line that went to the intake(I think it was the larger hose)

My hose didn't have any suction at all? Would I'd be clogged?

C'mon someone has to remember if the larger or smaller hose was used.

I just looked. Use the bigger one. That one goes to the intake and will get the throttle body as well as the plenum and the the valves. It made a fog bank but that was about it. Mines was running good so for me it was more preventative. I also dumped some of the bottle into the tank to get the injectors.

Check the other end and see if there's suction there?

This yellow tube has suction but not the hose that connects to the intake. Is the yellow tube what I feed the seafoam into?

Sent the Seafoam through the yellow nipple. Worked great! Thanks for another rapid response guys!

i did this to mine back in January. i sucked in about 3/4 of a can, shut it off, and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes, then started it up. Upon starting it up I fogged out my whole neighborhood. My neighbors did not particularly enjoy it, but once i explained what I was doing they understood and then did it to their vehicles. My expedition seemed to have a little better throttle response, but that could have been psychological.

did you NEED to ride around while laying out the fog or just rev'd the motor for a while?

I just ran it down the yellow nipple an a little in to the other end going to the intake. I let it run for about 10 minutes an shut it off. Came back later an ran the hell out of it. It did smoke for about 15 minutes an cleared up.

Super easy, and there is only one hose to use on our 04s, do not need to pour it into the yellow nipple. All I did was remove this hose from the booster, and positioned the clamp so that I would know how far into the bottle it was. In my case, I found that the vacuum it had was enough to suck out of the bottle even if the hose wasn't submerged. I put 2/3-3/4 of a bottle in there, and shut the truck off. Waited 20 mins, and started it up. Drove it through the neighborhood lightly, then around the block. It seemed to clean it out, LOTS of smoke!

Go for it, it is super easy on our 04s!

That's where I'm going to pour it in, and I do mean pour since the suction from that line goes into the booster (Hopefully my funnel fits inside the hose). I haven't traced the hose that goes out the bottom of the nipple, but I lost track of the smaller hose that leaves the top and it doesn't seem to go into the intake/throttle body.

Going to change the plugs this coming weekend, already poured a bottle into the fuel tank to try and loosen those deposits!
