Using Seafoam

Has anyone did Brake booster trick? I was told you can take the line off the brake booster and put it in the seafoam can and start the truck let it run for a Minute or two then turn it off put it back together and then let it set for 24 hours then start the truck and let it run in till it clears up

Any manifold vacumn source will work but only on a gasser. And you only need to let it set 30 minutes or so and make sure you do it outside as it is qiute smokey.

I did it thru the brake booster. Worked well, but when can was almost empty I killed the engine by putting those hose fully into the Seafoam. Let sit for about 30 minutes then drove it out into the country. Out there I did some high RPM driving to help clean out the carbon.

Never used it on the F150 but I used it on my 02 Subie and it smoked like crazy. Better to have 2 people, one with the seafoam and another revving the engine so you don't kill it.
