Sooo...what happened? Did the sparkplugs fix it? Did he leave the country to become a drug-trafficker? Did he shoot himself? WHAT HAPPENED!?

 

Haha. I was wondering after I read this thread. I refuse to add seafoam to my crank case. After adding it in a few motors I've either had a knock or them just lock up out of no where..

 

Hi everyone! No I'm not a drug trafficker.. But I do have a great running Durango. Changed plugs / o2 sensors and now she runs like a champ. I'll try to post some pics of the rocker arms

 

Only pics? here is their website:

But anyways...glad u were able to fix your D

 

I'm glad it was the gunk downstream and not you engine. DON'T USE THAT SH(* AGAIN..........

 

HAHAHAHAHA, reminded me of the good old days! (ya know, the 90's lol), gotta love Psychobilly bands!

 

Seafoam is a great product ... If you know what you're doing. I have used it several times in the intake and crankcase of several cars with zero problems. It's the years of neglect that caused the problem. You can't do a deep cleaning and expect the residue to just vanish. Of course it's going to clog stuff up on the way out. You have to expect that and prepare ahead of time.
Now that your engine is clean, you can use it once twice a year and it shouldn't cause you any problems.

 

samnbensdad is right..to a point.

Seafoam is a great product. I recently used it and could definitely tell a difference. BUT the product is not specifically made for the vehicle and is not certified by Chrysler, so it can cause a big major is issue, I have heard some horror stories.

I though, do stand by Seafoam, but do recommend caution.

 

I personally don't dwell too much on "certified by" nonsense. I have spent a lot of time in corporate management and can tell you that "certified by" usually has more to do with a financial partnership than safety or appropriateness. Do you ensure that your fuel distributor is Mopar approved?
Moral of the message: Do your homework before you try something new ...

Seafoam has it uses and my neighbor stands by it. For me i'll only use it if the engine has a TICK or in a newer car or truck. With less then 90,000 mi. on it. But that's just me. I've seen Seafoam in action good and bad. I guess it's how it's used and poured. My neighbor said it should go in as a MIST not "A LIQUID".
