Yes, I have used the motorvac on my truck. And I can say YES! It does make an improvement, especially since it cleans all of the injectors, and the combustion chambers. Plus it cleans (somehow, the catalytic convertor), and it runs a whole lot better afterward. I usually have it run on my truck once a year, it only costs me about $90 per hit.

If you need anything else just give me a hollar.

No prob. I have to have mine done once a year. Especialy since I drive in traffic around Houston, Tx! It has a bad tendency to gum it up real well.

Ahh yes another believer.

I usually have it run on mine once a year, just to keep things nice and clean inside that little engine.
