okay guys, so i made a complete noob ass move.
might i strongly insinuate, THIS IS THE FIRST DIESEL IVE EVER OWNED OR WORKED ON. so basically, any do's or donts, im either learning through research, or the hard way, as per this matter.
my friends were using sea foam to clean out their cars' engines via adding it through their air intakes (fun smoke shows). one of them told me to use it in my 6.9 (he was being serious not trying to set me up for anything), so i listened. started pouring it slowly down the intake (stupid mistake now learned), and eventually it started running really oddly. knocking. pinging. banging. etc. turned it off for 5 minutes like the instructions said. started it back up, bang bang, knock knock, then it started running like it normally did before. then, just now, 3 days after the matter, i read on sea foams website, in very large letters, "DO NOT ADD SEA FOAM TO THE AIR INTAKE OF ANY DIESEL ENGINE, SERIOUS DAMAGE SUCH AS HYDRO LOCK OR UNCONTROLLED ENGINE ACCELLERATION (known as "run away") MAY OCCUR".
