Going to try this stuff out tomorrow. Just want to make sure I've got this right. 1/3 into the main vac line, 1/3 into the gas tank, and 1/3 into the crank case.

Is this correct?

i do 1/3 thru the main vac and the rest in the tank. I don't trust the oil part. Wouldn't you have to do an oil change later?

As long as you keep your oil changed like you're supposed to, you shouldnt need it at all. I can see doing the fuel tank, but nothing else.

I'v done it in all three in the past. Just change your oil after if you put any in the crank case and you should be fine but like already stated you prob don't need to do that step anyway. I would let the vacuum line suck it up rather than pour that way you won't stall it out
After its all in turn your truck off and let it sit for a few, pouring the remaining in the tank. Be prepared for lots of smoke! Lol. When I used to do it I would go to an empty parking lot so I wouldn't **** the neighbors off :)

YES

You do an oil change after a hundred miles or so of driving.

There ya go. 1/2 in the tank and half through the vacumn line.

Suck it into the vacumn line slowly so the truck doesn't die (a buddy helps here to work the throttle). When you get enough sucked in, let it choke out the motor (foot off the throttle). Let it sit for 10 or 15 minutes to work it's magic and then start the truck. Enjoy the smoke show! Try it at Carlisle and the guys around you will love you!

Sorry for being stupid, but where can I find the main vac line on an 08' 5.7 HEMI?

This is exactly what I do. I don't trust the crank case part one bit and change my oil regularly enough so that I doubt I have any build up worth such drastic measures.

We've got an '02 chevy express van that ran like total ****. Debated doing the seafoam, but went with the marvels instead. Last few oil changes we've got some nasty stuff out of it and it keeps running better and better.
