Ok cluade advised me not to put this up due to my stupidity but I have to because I'm so lucky to be in such great marauder family company. So about a week I go I was doin a tune up on my car, oil change/ filter, gumout fuel system cleaner and a final step of seafoaming the car prior to changing the oil. I was told by a guy a advance blank parts where to put the seafoam and he pointed at the brake booster so I'm like fine okie dokie! Mind you my girlfirend had cancer and has been goin through chemotherapy so I had kinda of slipped a dose of her happy med's! Goin through this with her has gave me a huge understanding of what both partners go through. These has given me a deep respect for cluade as well as anyone who has had to endure a difficult time as this in life. After talking to cluade and Kenny about what couldve gone wrong two days later when my brakes gave out lol we scratch we I meant to say they pin pointed I had broken the brakebooster. Cluade had a talk with Kenny and in no time I bought a new brake booster,
left the car with kennny and when I came back in a few short days she was good as new heck even better! Big thanks to bad Merc and carfixer for putting another marauder back on the road! I'd also like to add that Kenny blessed me with the oppurtunity to drive his mint condition 04 silver birch with 4.10's, k&n, flowmasters and ud pulleys! Boy she is amazing and he has me convinced on my next mod's! Great day and I'm beyond grateful! Thanks again.

At the very least I would return the Seafoam can and get your money back.

Take WD-40 and spray the Brake booster hose right on the edge of the Booster itself.
Then take some pliers and turn the hose back and fourth on this fitting while pulling it off.

Lube, turn, pull = no breakie. Glad they helped out. Carfixer is a good guy.

So you Seafoamed your brake system and your stopping time did not improve? I knew that crap was snake oil!

I believe he was told to put the Seafoam into the engine at a point of vacuum. It seems that the wrong end of the tube was poured into filling the brake booster (oddly no dipstick there). Kevin felt stupid but I assured him to NEVER add anything to a car with only 70K miles on it unless strictly ordered to by the mass on these forums. I replaced his brake booster and got him back on the road in a matter of hours.
