The only thing you want to put in the crankcase of your truck is oil, nothing else. My advice is to stay away from additives altogether, all though it doesn't hurt to use techron or gumout with regane once or twice a year in the gas tank.

Pour a third into the gas tank and Run it. Once you refill the tank, run a third through the brake booster, might help to have it in a separate container (I'm hesitant to have it stall my engine, you can google hydrolock). Once you do that start the car (it'll smoke) and drive it like a bat outta hell. Kick all that crud out, and finally throw the last third into your oil, drive a hundred miles and change oil and filter.
I've used it plenty of times on plenty of cars and it works great!

The ingredients in it don't belong in the crank. You can clean the intake by hand and run a PEA cleaner. No need for it.

Go here for more info on oil and additives in general.
