Default sea foam

I read this artical in a different fourm when i seached seafoam since i had the code 2110 and 2118. is this a good idea and has anyone ever done it on a hemi.

I have 86000 miles on my Hemi.. good or bad idea? about seafoam and the deep clena spraying into the throttle body?

Sea Foam is amazing stuff, I have used it in the past on a bunch of vehicles and it works great as long as you follow the instructions. Be sure to change oil and filter after treatment.

Most recently used on my Hemi at 60K, not a lot of smoke or carbon deposits being brunt off which I guess is a good thing. You can also just dump 2 cans into your tank (26 G) and fill 'er up. You will most likely notice an improvement before the tank is used up; the stuff works really well in cleaning out injectors.

Also a good idea to just remove TB and clean it seperately, take a look around the site for other discussion about how to best do that.

Good luck, I don't have anything bad to say about Sea Foam, stuff works really well.

Better read carefully because NO ONE I know or have read just drops two cans in the fuel tank. Better read the directions on the can carefully

anyone ever run this stuff through the cylinders? I was told to do that after i fix my plenum. Not sure what bottle of seafoam to get (motor treatment, spray, deep clean)or how I should go about "running" it through the cylinders.

take your line off your pcv valve and with your engine running suck the sea foam out of the can without stalling the engine. I wouldn't recommend just pouring some down your cylinders. its pretty harsh shyt

The instructions at the link from the OP, @ LS1tech, details how to use SF throughout the system. I thought I read some threads here at DF that go through that same process as well, but I cannot find them at the moment.

'04 Hemis have PCVs? Don't they just have the infamous twisty plug thingy like the '03?

I did the seafoam as directed today. With the engine warm and running, dump about a third of it in the TB, take a vacumn line off- I used the brake booster line which they recomended in video dumped about another third of the can in it. The turn engine off if it hadnt killed itself, let sit for about 15-20min. When I started the thing there wasnt much but as soon as it warmed up HOLLY CHIT!!! Smoked like it was on fire. Wish I would have taken a pic. Read about this a lot on Ramforumz. Hope this helps.

So the sea Foam won't hurt the motor?
Also did it foul any of your plugs.

As far as I know NO. My family and Ive used the product for 15 years. I Have never pored it directly in my oil like they claim you can though. That make me a little nervous but know of people that have w no problems. JMO.
