Default How often do you Seafoam your truck?

I was just wondering how often you seafoam your vehicles? Via the the intake or Gas tank. I did mine at 36K one can in the intake and then about 100 miles after that I put a can in the gas tank.

Oh yeah... for thos of you who have clicked on the first link truckmann posted....The first time I used seafoam through my intake the smoke came out BLACK..Truck was about 4yrs old when I got it and that was around the first time I used seafoam on her. Now the smoke just comes out a little white.

I like to do an induction service (such as Seafoam through the brake booster hose) once a year or every 12K, whichever comes first.
