Default dodge loves sea foam

Thanks to Mad Scientist and Purpl for helping me out on how to properly do this because I have never done Sea Foam before.

Well like they said it feels like your truck got his ***** back haha. I will keep driving and check again in about 100 or so miles and see what the intake looks like so hopefully my plenum is NOT shot ha

Safely frees sticky lifters and piston rings, removes carbon build-up and oil residue, reduces pinging and rough idle.

How did you do yours? I know down the line off the side of the intake but did you just pour it in?

take the hose off the brake booster and slowly pour it in, not too fast or you will kill the engine. wait about 20 mins then turn truck back on, I also added half can into my gas tank.

why not just use the spray, and spray through the throttle body? Or do the two different cans of seafoam do something different. I thought their was a liquid can for the gas tank, and an aerosol for the intake.

It originally came out in the liquid form only, if you had wanted to spray it you would have to put it in a sprayer, then they came out with the aerosol, they both do the same and I personally get a can of both just because im to lazy to setup my sprayer

i seafoamed mine for the first time the other day, 2/3 in the vacuum line and the rest in the tank.
i waited 20 mins started my truck, brought it up to 1700 rpms and there was no smoke! i even recorded it with my camera thinking there would be a huge smoke show, but nothing happened.
does this mean my engine was already clean on the inside?
i did the plenum about a year ago, along with the pcv valve, and i still burn a quart or two of oil every month.
