When I have my ODB2 scanner hooked up, can I start my vehicle without messing up my scanner?

[Dave]

Quoted From pcmdjason:As far as I know you can safely start a car with the scanner connected.

Awesome, thanks

[Dave]

How much smoke can I expect, should I do this at my mom’s place in the country or in town?

[Dave]

Thanks Diesel, I guess I can expect a few minutes of cloud cover lol. I am gonna be doing it this weekend I guess.

[Dave]

I agree, it is just gonna have to wait (unfortunately) until I get paid

Quoted From 3SheetsDiesel:

It’s been my experience that Seafoam works well for all sorts of things. You can dump it into the engine of a car and run it before an oil change to help break up any gunk that’s accumulated inside the engine due to neglect, you can run it through a vacuum line to help clean out the intake manifold of carbon buildup. It definetly works as advertised.

Also, you can make it yourself if you want to, for a lot less than you can buy it off the shelf. I posted the recipe over in the tool talk forum, the thread is called Homebrew automotive chemical recipes

The vacuum line, that is on the master cylinder? Also do I need to change the oil after I add the Seafoam and can I add it to the gas tank?

[Dave]

Quoted From mckrishes:

It works pretty good for me. I ran it through my vaccum line to clean out the engine and I put some in the fuel tank and engine oil.

I guess I should have read better, I can add it to the gas tank, thanks.

[Dave]

You bet I will, just gotta wait for pay day though, synthetic is priceier than regular oil.

[Dave]

some interesting points here, thanks

[Dave]

awesome, thank you all for your replies, I will use the stuff then, thanks again.

I will check it out, thanks for posting eh.

[Dave]

Thanks College Man for the note, my truck has almost 215k miles on it, not too bad me thinks.

[Dave]

I have been wondering for a long time about this, I still run conventional oil in my trucks engine and tranny, my question is this, can I start using synthetic oils in them both?

[Dave]

lol, I ain’t seen anything like that, kinda hard to see too though.

[Dave]

Quoted From dfbdavid38:

you need to always check the gap even in new plugs because they could have been drop at anytime front the factory to the store

Gotcha, thanks.
