It works great makes your truck run alot better it most cases but it can also foul your spark plugs. Alot of people suggest you changes them after you do it. I havent and i have done it twice with no problems.

Try a search or two on the subject. It has been discussed many times in the past.

I only use the stuff down through the intake. I have never used anything in the oil as a good oil will clean out junk too. I think that Chevron Techron Fuel System Treatment Plus is better as a fuel injector cleaner.

For use as an upper engine cleaner, it works very well.

You should be looking at getting a set of AC Delco Double Platinum plugs (41-993). A set will run about $40.

i think is time to replace the plugs anyway but to suck up the seafoam do 1/2 trought brake booster and 1/2 in the tank right, you dont relly need it in the oil cause a good oil all ready cleans good???????

I prefer BG44K to Seafoam. Changing out the number 3 plug will be a new exercise in profanity for those new to blazers.[:@]
