I actually just seafoamed my truck today after reading this post. I poured in the brake booster vaccum line directly in the throttle body and in the gas tank. I stalled it out then let it sit for 10 minutes fired it back up and let it idle for about 5 minutes before driving it. It seems like its running alot smoother and when in drive at a stop it idles around 3-4 hundred rpms were it was always around 5 before.
Also the guy at the parts store asked my if I wanted the stuff for the engine cause they also make tranny cleaner to. I didnt know that. Has anybody tried the tranny seafoam or have any clue how it works?

Tranny oil is not like motor oil that gets contaminated by combustion byproducts. If you change your tranny fluid regularly there should be no need to use additives to clean it out unless there is some way for dirt or moisture to be getting into it. Often, loosening up any internal deposits can cause more harm than good because there are many tiny passages the fluid has to move through that can become clogged.
