just today i added some sea foam to the tank
i havent ran too much of it through yet, i think it should have been enough to see some improvement....but there is no change, yet.
i need to get a hold of a gauge to test my fuel pump, then ill move onto the cpi.

the weird thing now is that, the engine seems to have less power then when before i added the cleaner.
take off is slow, but before 2nd gear picks back up.
2nd and the beginning of 3rd have decent power.
but after that there is like nothing.
i hold the peddle to the floor and it barely accelerates, and from the end of 3rd gear on the rpms wont go over 2500.

i added it to the vacuum lines too, only were that plastic ball is though (sorry not sure what its called)
and only a few cap fulls, maybe i should add more? i still have some left over.

another thing i didnt mention, is the truck idles high when its first started...like 1200-1300, so i have to restart it and shift it before the rpms go that high or it will slam into gear.
also while driving it doesnt shift at the right time and slams gears....only sometimes though.
