At one time I found several pictures and steps in how do the seafoam treatment through the brake booster....anyone remember where they are in the forums? I have been searching but haven't found them and don't remember what froum they were in for sure. I would like to do this to my 01 Expy with 5.4 Triton. I think I remember the steps but want to make sure. Any help or link would be appreciated..... Thanks in advance!

The sea foam web site has details about how to use it.

You just want to make sure that you feed it in slowly.

I prefer to use the air intake tube. That way you de-carbon the throttle body too. If you use the brake booster line, it will bypass the throttle body.

I thought the pictures showed and said to run it at 2000 rpm and pour it in slowly but I can't remember if it was the whole bottle or not? I think it also said after pouring it all in the booster line shut the truck off and let it set for about 15 minutes and then start it back up and thats when it should start with the white smoke. I can look at their website too.

That's what I do... whole bottle into the vac hose for brake booster, wait 10-15, then drive the shit out of it. If there's lots of carbon build up it looks like WWIII, always a fun time.
