No smoke seems kinda strange to me especially on an 03. What vac line did you run it through and exaclty how did you run the seafoam in the truck?

Mine didn't smoke much the second time I used it. Now it's only once a year or so. Guess it is possible yours didn't need it.

Well how are we supposed to know it's working now? LoL
I believe you're supposed to let it get sucked into the engine until it chokes it, then let it sit. Maybe there wasn't enough sitting in there because it all burned off beforehand?

yeah you gotta let it get sucked into the intake and then dump enough in to kill the motor and let it sit and work. Then start it back up and idle it up to around 2k rpms and watch the smoke show. Just did this two weeks ago and it smokes. And it works.
