I have never used it or heard of anyone using it in the newer rams but I am into desert racing so I freequent some toyota forums and the tacoma guys swear by the stuff. They pour that stuff into their motors like gasoline. So yes, it is safe, some say it does stuff, just haven't heard of dodge guys using it.

You can find out all you want about Sefoam and Dodges here:

Just do a search for Seafoam. Seems like a lot of guys are using it there. I have no personal experience with it, and at 21,000 miles I don't think I'd see any benefit.

I read a post about putting sea foam through the brake booster and i was wondering were is that line located...What is the brake booster.

By the way i used a pint of sea foam in my 04 Ram w/ about 16 gallons and although it doesnt seem like it does much it helps keep stuff clean in your engine and removes moisture from gas lines and tank. It is also suppose to free up your injectors of debri and anything left behind. Im going to pour another pint in my engineOIL about 100 miles beore my next oil change.

Look to the right of the throttle body (with you standing in front of the engine looking towards the rear of the truck) and you will see a large, round disc-shaped item adjacent to the master cylinder. That is the brake booster and it has a vacuum line that connects to the throttle body. That vacuum provides a "boost" to your brakes, thus the "power" in power brakes. Pull that line off the booster and place it into a container of Seafoam in order to suck it into the engine via the throttle body.

I use it in my outboard, Yamaha 225, every 3 tanks or so I mix in 3 cans in the gas tank. It does keep the build up to a minimum and cleans out the motor. I also use it in my lawn tractor and weed whacker. I put some in my wife's Miata last winter by just mixing it with a tank of gas. I got no smoke or anything from it. It had around 25k miles on it. It definately ran smoother afterwards.

Here's the website....
