Seafoam Deep Creep

[Rev_D21]

I Seafoamed my intake today. Seafoam is a topic that is on every automotive forum under the sun. The idea behind it is to remove carbon deposits in the intake system by introducing the product via vacuum lines like you brake booster hose. Here's what I did today.

I started out by pulling the air filter. I sprayed some Deep Creep down the throttle body while working the butterfly plate. Deep Creep works as a lubricant that is safe for oxygen sensors and MAFs.

Next I removed the brake booster vacuum hose. While the truck was running I sprayed a whole bunch of Deep Creep into the hose. I had to have my GF hold the throttle so the truck would not stall.

Shut the truck off for about 30 minutes then restarted. If you haven't seen the smoke show that Seafoam does after a car has sat for a few then I suggest you search 'Seafoam' on YouTube. My truck smoked for a little while but not as bad I have seen other vehicles smoke. The cloud was thick and white and smelly but only lasted a short while. I took the truck for a good 65mph drive to help clear it out.

The truck runs about the same, the throttle pedal feels smoother though and I am sure that any carbon that was in there is pretty much gone. I have read that Seafoam can save bad idles, poor acceleration and increase fuel mileage. High mileage and city driven vehicles will benefit the most from this procedure. I found Deep Creep to be easier to use than traditional Seafoam in a can, it's Seafoam in an aerosol can which makes injecting into the brake boost vacuum line a lot easier than trying to make the vehicle 'sip' from a can.

We'll see how well this affects my mileage next week. As of now I have:

-New Cap and Rotor-NGK Blue plug wires-NGK Platinum tipped plugs

All less than 5k miles. Truck is running awesome right now...knock on wood!
