So my question is - should I do this immediately before i do the plenmum thing - or right after I get it back together? (One question, two possibilities - hoper tehre are not four DIFFERENT suggestions! Iconfuse so easily!)

It's simply not going to stall if you put it in slowly enough. And like I said in an earlier post, you don't have to pour it in. Just let the hose suck it in slowly. Put the bottle and tilt it close enough and you'll see what I mean. Get to close, it'll suck too much in and stall the motor. Move it far enough away and it will suck the Seafoam in slowly to the desired amount.

When you do your plenum if its blown the intake will be FILTHY. It took me hours to clean it by hand to my liking and it still wasn't completely clean. I would try to find someone that you can get the intake hot dip cleaned in your area, put it all back together then seafoam it, if you wanna make cleaning it easier and don't want to spend the cash to have it cleaned really good then before. If you do it before make sure you do an oil change afterward just in case some gets into the oil.

Good advice. Now, if you want to add 200 or so HP, paint your truck Plum Crazy Purple. Worked for dodge a couple few years ago.

Don't forget to paint the grille a nice orange color as well. That'll add another 50 HP.

I gave mine to the machine shop, after I was done carving on it, and had it hot tanked. Came back squeaky clean. Wish I had the time to polish and paint it.
