alright so i have a rough idle and i know that seafoam will help if its put in the right places. i already put it in the gas tank and that did nothing. now i know this sounds like a big no brainer to all of you but how do i put it into the carberator i mean i looked in the chiltion manual and everything and it doesnt tell me and also can i just pour the whole pint into the carburator?
pics would be nice but im sure i can do without it

whens the last time you did a tune up ?

bull307

probably a long time ago i looked through all the papers the original owner had for it and found nothing as far as a tune up mostly muffler and clutch jobs
how much does a tune up usually run and how long does it take

Running it through the intake smooths mine out.

pour it in slow. make sure you dont stall it. you might be better off using seafoam deep creep.

Elton

all you need to get is 4 denso or ngk plugs and wires then get a cap and rotor cost maybe $30 dollars time to do it a hour at most make sure to use anti-seize for the plugs and and some dielectric grease now if you have the 3.slow haha have fun and good luck

3.0 isnt a bad engine.... just pour into the pcv valve. its the only one that has suction when you take it out. theres a whole big 400+ thing post on this. i read it, and saw yesterday at pep boys that they have seafoam there for like 6 bucks. just dont hydrolock your truck... don don dooon.

i can get a squeeze bottles 2 for $1 at the 99 cents store, it can be handy when doing this seaform thing.

I love SeaFoam...Follow the directions on the can. (Pour 1/3 of a can in through the brake booster line very slowly) It will smoke like a freight train after about 20 seconds.....Huge white cloud of carbon smoke....I could barely seem my car one time. If you have a ton of carbon build up...I'd do it once, run it for 10 min's or so and repeat.

What ever you do...make sure you change your spark plugs after you're done. Al that carbon coming off can foul your plugs.

don't be fooled the smoke is NOT carbon it is the oil and other stuff in the seafoam you can get the same result from pouring oil, water, ATF whatever in it but don't.
I have seen sea foam work on car and I have seen it do nothing as well

it costs 6-8$ and might help and I have not seen it do anything bad either so far .

when we ran it through a 22r we pulled the filter cover and poured it in the carb then shut the truck off then before restarting we put the cover back on
