Holy smokes! literally!
Wow, i could have added this to the seafoam thread, but my seafoam experience deserved its own thread. I only put about 1/3 of the can through my brake booster line then turned the truck off. we let it sit for about 10 minutes. turned it on, and holy smokes! I've never seen so much smoke! I ran it for about 10 minutes and it was still coming out pretty steady, but it had reduced overall. It ran much smoother too.
I seafoamed it again with the rest of the can. I got most of it in there, but it stalled just before i got to the end. I cant wait to see it tomorrow morning.
PICTURES TO COME!

A couple of folks here have tried a mid-line to this which is to replace the PCV valve with a PCV breather (basically just a filtered vent to the outside) and didn't really see a lot of benefit. The 3.4L engine just doesn't spit a lot of crap like others do.
Here's a random pic of a can I found with Google Images:
Here's some a random article for another vehicle:

(it deals with keeping oil out of an intercooler, but the concept is the same)
