Put a full can in the 2013 Platinum and seems to be running worse.

Did you mix it with gas at the suggested ratio, or just dump a bottle in an almost empty tank?

Ran it through my Ford F-150 back in 2009, and it was the end of that truck. Went downhill quickly after that.

That sounds about right. I've had success using it on 2 stroke lawn mowers and boat motors. Never ran it through my truck.

I ran a full bottle through my 2006 lariat and cleared up a misfire. filled up the tank then dumped it in. Never had an issue with it.

It was 100% unnecessary to include "Platinum". What a tool you must be.

Why are you running shite like that through an engine that presumably runs well?

a lot of people swear buy it. I've used it a couple times and it only made things worse. I stay away from it.

Yes dildo it was necessary. Trying to give the OT members a description of the vehicle.

I've read where almost all of those gas additives are worthless except for possibly bottles of Techron. It's possible that Deadpan actually screws shite up. Research it.

Have a hard time imagining a 2013 would really need sea foam. You shouldn't have sludge or a heavy carbon build up. Most people really benefiting from it have older engines. Sounds like you have some other issue.

So, they put a different engine in the "Platinum" edition? No, you're a tool.

Yes, I've done it a couple of times, and it seemed to work.

I've got a 99 Silverado; I used the Winn Dixie discount card at a Shell station, and afterwards the truck ran really rough (I think that station has water in their tanks). Can of Seafoam cleared it up.

Did it a couple years later, same station, same issue, same resolution with the chemical additive.

What's your truck doing that made you decide to try Seafoam?

A lot of guys on the mechanic message boards I frequent say to never use it in the Platinum edition.
