| Juss for anybody that's concerned about doing this, I Juss did this and it actually helped. My #2 injector was out of spec in park at a -4.14 after doing this I was at a -1.14. I didn't think you could bring back a negative out of spec injector but it did. Granted it cleared up the white smoke a lot but still have some because I'm almost positive I have out of spec return rates. But for anybody wondering its defiantly worth a try. I had efi hooked to it the whole time and Juss watched the injector balance rates get better

| Did this cleaning a few days ago also. My truck had a bit of a rough idle to it, and it cleared it right up. I never checked the balance rates before hand but it made a huge difference in the way the engine runs. This is the second time I've done this, first time was about a year ago. This is a mandatory maintenance item if you ask me.

| Has anyone tried this yet as a secondary deal, or as a routine maint deal with a different cleaner (ie, a strong mix of seafoam and diesel or some other kind of cleaner)? I do like how seafoam will help out gas motors- I just haven't noticed any difference using some in the tank and running it per instructions in my Dmax. It is a pretty good cleaner, doesn't have the alcohol a lot of other cleaners have, and cheaper and more available to most people (most dealerships in my area don't carry it- they have to order it).

Sorry to say but Seafoam is good for cleaning gas motor but not diesels (no matter what they advertise). You'd be better off just running a strong mix of DK while doing the DIY cleaning but I still wouldn't bother doing it unless you're going to get the proper GM top end cleaner.

| I wouldn't run any injector cleaner through the engine like this. There is one other product they mention in this thread but it is a lot more expensive I think. If you want to do this I think your best bet is going to be ordering through the dealer.

| I just did this. Everything went well until i got ready to start her up again at the very end. When i pulled out the fuel lines to reconnect the actual lines, some diesel spilled. Well as im trying to start it up there was a small fire. I had to grab a water hose quick! Some wires burned but it doesnt look like they completely fried up. I have to check on it in the morning. Its too dark now :/
