seafoam... it can foul the plugs so it would be good to put new ones in after it anyways

X2 on that, had a friend do seafoam after new plug and for some reason the plugs went bad, had to buy a whole new set.

Just to add once you do the seafoam treatment you will be amazed how your truck idles and preforms. If you need help on the process there is some posts that include a step-by-step. Do a search at the bottom for Seafoam treatment.

Thanks all, sounds like a plan....smoke out the neighbors tonight, change the rest in the next couple of nights....also got a great deal on a set of bilsteins...hopefully improve on the moving truck ride I've got now.

One question.....Can't seem to find which vacuum line recommended for sea foam treatment....some other sites they use the brake booster line, but I remeber you all use a different one....Any help, pictures, whatever, greatly appreciated.

You should never use the brake booster line, the cleaner can play fits on that little red ring assembly on your manifold.
What plug wires are you going to install, if anything from a retail auto parts store, take them back and order some 8 mm Magnacor wires on line for the best long term performance.
Not to be different, but when doing an induction cleaning, you will get better results with the most plug fire, so do your tune up first, then the induction clean and t/body cleaning.
