I ran a whole can through my truck's intake when I still had the cats on. After cutting them off they still looked fine 8 months after doing the seafoam.
I don't think it will be an issue. After doing this go out and really drive the truck, get it nice and hot for a good half hour ride on the freeway or something. That should burn up all the residual stuff left over.

1/3 can haah. who reads the instructions anyways. i dumped a whole can in mine. looked like the car off the movie uncle buck. runs good to.

I have been debating whether or not to Seafoam my TrailBlazer, but I think I will do it here soon.

Thanks for the info!
