When you are standing in front of your truck and wondering what you can do to fix something, all the quick fixes come to mind and you build your hopes...and then you spend your money...and when the smoke clears and the dust settles...you're back at square one with that much less money in your pocket...and still have a blow-by problem.
Unfortunately, the carbon build up won't help...unless...unless there is carbon deposits broken off that managed to get mixed up in the rings and is keeping them from doing their job of stopping the oil and compressed air from meeting behind the pistons...well, that's not all they do, but the biggest function.
I would have suggested this also...but I, too, tried this and was disappointed by the results...in fact...I tried an engine cleaner also and ran the engine for 20 minutes (after spending an hour or two trying to find the proper magic solution)...drained the oil and refilled a recently refilled crankcase (so I was out twice as much on oil) only to find...it was WORSE!
The engine cleaner did a marvelous job and cleaned all the gunk inside the engine that was holding it together...
Investing a few thousand dollars on a good rebuild or simply buying a low mileage replacement would put you further ahead in the long run...it's just a matter of finding that replacement or someone you can trust to do the rebuild...or...do it yourself and save a ton of cash...
