Default Induction and throttle body cleaning.

Saw these on the 60K maintenance recomendations. What exactly and I cleaning and what do I use to clean it? Never done either of these before. TIA...

Default RE: Induction and throttle body cleaning.

For the t-body cleaning take a can of carb cleaner, run the drivers front wheel up onto a 2x4, a car ramp, curb anything to make it higher than the rest of the truck.
Remove the air intake tube from the t-body, spray away, open the butterfly and spray inside too, use the whole can.
Spray everything that is dirty around the t-body.
Do not get any on the paint, it will eat the paint.
Put it all back together and run the **** out of it for a few miles.

As for the induction cleaning, buy a can of SeaFoam, remove a vacum line from the intake manifold and stick it into the can, start the truck, let it idle and suck in the whole can, turn the engine off.
After 15-20 mins start the truck and run the **** out of it.

You can save time by doing both at the same time.
Suck in the SeaFoam, clean the t-body, run the **** out of the truck.

Sound easy enough, thanks.

I did not realize the induction cleaning was the same as the seafoam treatment that is always discussed. Got it now.
