Seafoam Induction cleaning
I found the sticky that details how to do this, but it's for a D2. Can someone tell me (a pic would be great) where I should put this stuff into the intake?
The only place I feel confident putting Seafoam is the gas tank and crankcase (in the oil).
If you are going to do the induction cleaner, it is the little hose that goes from the passengers side valve cover to the intake plenum. You unplug it at the valve cover leaving it attached to the intake plenum if it is a GEMS intake.
There are other threads on here that describe it. The Bosch intake is different, it has a little port or something. Did you try a search on Seafoam Induction Cleaning?

Is it running rough?
I seafoam every 3k and it works great. Find the main vacuum line off your master cylinder (which is on the drivers side fire wall) What I did was just cut the line and got another piece of hose a little larger to push the two ends into to hold together. All you do is start the truck, put the hose in the can and slowly let it suck all the seafoam up, turn the truck off, push the lines together, wait 30 mins and start her up and rev it till all the smoke stops. Every time i do it my service engine light comes on but goes off after a few miles. Hope this helps, if you want pics message me your number and Ill text you some.

IMHO you might want to search this forum as opposed to the whole web for damage from SeaFoam. It is a lightweight oil, with a couple of solvents, been around since the 1930's (we're talkin' old skool - pour down the carb). Once sucked into the intake vacuum port (NOT drizzled into the MAF, air cleaner, or throttle body), you let it sit for a few minutes, while it solvents off some of the gunk, then crank it up and burn it off. Smokes like mad. Now if you did it wrong, might not be too good for CATs. However, if truck has be reasonably cared for, and you are running premium gas now, may not see much difference between induction cleaning and just tossing it in the tank. But - it is also true that you'll get more lasting increase in "running good" from plugs, wires, and throttle body cleaning.
Thanks to all for the input. The truck runs pretty smooth, it's just new to me, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'll probably just put a can in the tank (or maybe BG 44K?), do the TB cleaning and change out the plugs and wires for good measure.

You must have money to burn.
I did it once, did not notice any difference, I just use good gas, no injector cleaner, no SeaFoam, nothing, just good gas.
Jeez,
Seafoam is like $6.99 a can on sale, $10 retail. You drive a truck that gets 15 mph tops, and requires a great bit of preventive maintenance. $7 is one order of sushi, dude...
