what did i do wrong with the seafoam?
i put 1/3 in the tank, 1/3 in the crankcase and 1/3 in the intake(via the brake booster line). i had a helper with me to operate the throttle to keep it running and the stuff went in real quick and easy. let it sit for 20 -30 minutes and when i started it i had NOT a puf of smoke what so ever. so what did i do wrong. not enough seafoam in the intake?

i dont drive it hard at all, i did after i sea foamed it only cuz they say too. the exhaust did stink a bit for a while but thats about it. with 217000 miles you would think i have alot of carbon build up. i guess it is what it is, ill seafoam it again before winter and see what happends then.

If you guys are running seafoam through your truck and you dont get any crud out the back... then you are pushing the cleaner through the system too fast. It is intended to be a slow process... The truck needs to be at idle with the A\C system off. If the truck is trying to die slow it down. You should be able to introduce the cleaner slow enough where it wont kill the truck, bout 5 minutes worth. Do that for a third of a can, let it set for 10 minutes, then kiss the skeeters good bye...

Incorrect. Running it through quickly doesnt allow the cleaning agent to settle into the deposits. A slow and steady drip gives you a constant saturation allowing breakup of the carbon. If you watch most PROFESSIONAL mechanics, not only do they not use seafoam, (direct fuel rail cleaning service via the service port on fuel rail) its a drip. Another tip, when you do clean the fuel system on your truck, no matter which brand of chemical you are using, make sure your vehicle is at operating temperature so that your catalytic converters are operating. They are useless at low temperature, thus are unable to handle the rich mixture running through it.
