Sooooo for a full cleaning we spray into that little hole near the throttle body, the brake booster, put some in the gas tank, and some in the oil? Then change the oil right after or X miles later?

How much do we use too? One can? Helppppp lmao

You need 2 cans of the liquid and 1 can of the spray. 1 full can of the liquid in the gas tank. 1/2 a can of the liquid in the oil other half in the booster hose. Spray the TB and change oil after about 100 miles. At the beginning of this thread there's a DIY link. I will be making one for the LLT when I get a break from the rain. I may do a photo DIY first and the video later.

I also just thought about something. If you were to spray the Seafoam through the TB. (by opening the tb blade with your hand) With the car off of course you can get a even spray across the IM. Resulting in skipping the booster hose step. And it will drain onto everything and sit like the booster step would for a few min. But this is in theory. For those not confident to do the booster hose part. This is a THEORY. Plus remember the engine must be warm. Or just wait for the DIY.

Thanks so much for the help so far man I and I'm sure everyone else really appreciate it. Its definitely a good theory, who knows...

I've got another 1,000 miles until I need an oil change so I'm going to hold tight for your DIY. I need a catch can too and it seems counter productive to seafoam without a catch can. So I'll order that and install it the same day I seafoam and do an oil change. Should be a fun day!

Can you get away with just using the Seafoam spray and put directly into the IM or do you need to put it directly in the gas and oil as well?

Yes you can, I do it every oil change. Just don't expect a huge change cleaning wise.

Keep seeing that the brake booster only gets half the engine. I'm liking the throttle body spray as this should get the whole engine.

As someone that did it from the front, it gets only the front four cylinders. I think you need to get it from both ends. Hmmm... That didn't come out sounding right.

This is correct the TB only gets the front cleaned. For the rear to be properly cleaned you'll need the booster line.

I have all the pictures for the write up. Not many needed. Got ambushed into spring cleaning by my wife so I'm being held hostage. Will write it by end of weekend.

Nut is correct. Any intake manifold introduction while running will distribute pretty evenly.
