Maybe its possible your torque converter has gone bad. Ive seen it happen 3 times in my life but anything is possible with these darn things.
SEAFOAM DIRECTIONS:


When used in fuel line, vacuum or induction cleaning systems:
With warm engine running-Important: SLOWLY induce 1/3 pint direct into vacuum line. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. These directions are word for word from a 16 FL OZ (1PT) can
If you can't see or follow the directions on the can there's a link a few posts up and/or the one below Good luck & Happy seafoming...

Your Welcome, you might also check out Mopars combustion chamber cleaner very good product, you could also do some research on using water to remove carbon.

Yes water is another technique, just use distilled..Can buy at most food stores next to the 'regular' bottled water...if not use some from your fish tank..research hydrolock, aka hydrostatic lock too...pertaining to removing carbon buildup with water

the website also says repeat as necessary. Which would be exactly what i do. Use half the bottle, stall motor, let sit, start back up and finish rest of seafoam. but whatever the **** works regardless of how its used i believe.

Everyone on here has recommended the stall at halfway then letting it sit and fire it back up. However the last 2 times i did a seafoam treatment it wouldnt stall no matter how much i feed it, so i simply shut it off.

Yup J, and I think that's why it says to "turn the ignition off" but what do do we know?

I didn't have a problem getting the Dodge to stall, had to feed it slow. But my Chevy took it so fast and never attempted to stall when I did it.
When all else fails there's always instructions.
