I have a 05 Ram I've had it almost a year now and I just learned I'm spouse to run a higher octane fuel than I have been since it has a Hemi. I'm gonna start running the right fuel but was wanting to clean it out good just to be on the safe side.
I have some Lucas oil injector cleaner but would that be the best for it? I'm trying to keep the truck in the best shape I can.
Seafoam works good. I believe it is petroleum based and is sold at an auto store like pep boys or autozone. Google it up. If you have <50000 miles I would just use the higher octane. Using a lower octane just makes the explosion in the cylinders less. Everything else does not really care that the octane was less. Just run the higher octane because the Hemi's run better with more explosive cylinders.
Just run some gumout regane or redline sl-1 through the gas and keep your oil changed regularly. Oil now has a lot of additives to clean up deposits, some are specifically designed to clean better like Mobil 1 high mileage or pennzoil platinum.
I would not uses seafoam it works to well if you use it to not but it the oil intake or gas tank and just maybe a cap full it will clean all tje gum from the rings and the truck well smoke for ever.
