Default Anyone have any luck with seafoam cleaning injectors?

I am trying to get the very best mileage out if my truck, so I want to make sure my injectors are cleaner than they are now. Has anyone had any luck with seafoam or another product? I dont want to start a brand war, just want to know what people recommend for the 8.0 v10
thanks

I've alternated between Techron and Lucus injector cleaner for about 7-8 treatments. My truck was pretty neglected when i bought it (160k), so i don't know if having to do that many treatments is normal, but I've noticed huge difference in performance. MPG's have only gone up about .3 - .5. That might be a lot on these trucks though. I only use half the amount of fuel they say that it treats up to. I cant be for sure, but i feel like the Techron worked better.

I like Seafoam and Amsoil PI. I also use double what they recommend for the first tank and use the recommended amount for another tank or two. Once you've done that, do the recommended amount every 3 months or so.

This guy seems non partial.

Ok, thanks for the replies. I will probably go with whichever of these products are cheapest, as it seems that they all do alright.

That guy is probably one of the best non-biased guys on YouTube.
