Sounds like you need to change the oil.

Also, your sentence structure is a little odd. Did it have this issue *before* the Seafoam ("still") or *after* the Seafoam ("now")?

when i first put seafoam in my truck and start it, it makes a rapping noise too and has a rough idle for maybe 5 seconds and goes back to normal. i run a whole can 50 miles before every oil change...as said change your oil and try to start it then, monitor oil pressure. does it do it under throttle? sound like a stuck lifter?

Lifters my dear friend from what you say. Get the LS7 replacements. It's a known issue and has a TSB. The sea foam prob prematured it as well, what's the mileage?
