Default Did Seafoam Cleaner

Truck is at 95K so i figured i would try the product. My first impression is impressed the truck seems to be running smother. Havent had a chance to open it up but the smoke was pretty cool. I dind't think it was ever going to end. I went through to brake booster line and used a tiny bit more then half can. When i saw the smoke getting less i went and drove around wow was i wrong. I think i filled my whole street up with smoke luckily no one was home or im sure some neighbors would of come out. At 100K what would yall say some good matience be? I changed the fuel filter about 10K ago flushed the injectors about 15K i think its time to get the tranny and radiator flushed. Should i think about changing any belts?

What about the Rear Diff? i think its suggested to change it at 100k?

My belt has 151,000 miles on it and still looks new, no cracks at all.
I have a spare under my back seat just incase

If you have not serviced the transmission yet then most builders say dont do it. Any matter that has attached itself to the inside of the trans will be loosend and get into the valve body making more problems.

just change the rear and the trans, don't bother flushing the trans, you might get more that you wanted.

Can I use the air changer tool to change the air in me? Cause mine is old and it kinda stinks a little when it leaks out.

You guys think that is funny but a friend of mine owns a quick lube in brandon Ms and a mutual friend was there when the old blue hair drives up for an oil change. MY friend Tal tells the old lady that she really needs to change the air in the tires, and that it looks like its never been changed. She immediatly went into the office and demanded to have the air in all of her tires changed. Joel was so pissed when he had to do it. But he did change all of the air in all of the tires
