Seafoam ram....

[Rzrman328]

I use it in my quads....I usually break down the carbs but I'm getting lazy in my old age and will run some thru everynow and then.

**** works miracles lol.

Anyways.....anybody run this stuff through their ram?

About once a month i'll dump a can into the fuel tank. It may or may not help the truck but as long as I believe it does, I'm good.

Oh I definitely believe it helps if anything.

So you put one whole can in with a full tank of gas?

 

[Pull Ya]

Yes--32 gal tank

I run it through the tank once every 3k-5k miles. Or if I have a long trip coming up that'll put 150+ miles on her. I got about 15 cans for free from a local parts store cause a few bottles in a case were busted when they got it in so they had to trash the whole box in order to get refunded.

Damm you lucked out!

As in you've had a bad experience with it?

Nah, just don't see a point to it if there are no issues. Its great stuff though.. really works.

Still, no 4th gen ram (or any newish vehicle) should need it.

I agree, I've only ever used it to correct an issue.

The only time I use it preventatively is to keep fuel stable for longer periods of non use.

So besides for correcting issues......what about for the purpose of cleaning all the insides (fuel lines, injectors..etc)....

If anything I'd think it would help smoother engine running, engine longevity and possibly improve mpg's??

use it on my ram every 10k and works great
make sure you got a code scanner available coz its going to set some miss fire codes and your going to want to clear those if you run it through the vacuum line
other than that all is good

Run a LOT through my Ramcharger of late... but it's 23 years old, and it only JUST started running again, after inheriting it 9 years ago - it sat for 6 of those, and I've put less than a thousand miles on it in the last three years! LOTTA varnish to clean up IN the engine - new fuel pump, tank boil, and ALL new fuel lines took care of the rest!

I use a 1/2 can in my bike about every 2000 miles. A full can every other Oil change in my 4wheel vehicles. Works great.

You guys know Sea Foam is a fuel stabilizer made back in the 50"s for your boat. I've never found any mechanic in a can that ever made a noticeable difference and I sold the stuff for 20 years.

 

[SitKneelBend]

It worked miracles on my high mileage 99 Sport. I'm not sure about use/benefits on newer engines though.

Word of caution if you use it with a dirty fuel filter or fuel tank it can cause sediment to dislodge and clog it up and then you will be calling for a tow truck. (Ask me how i know)

Love the Seafoam.

Cleaned the carbon out of my 07 5.9L Cummins.
Let me edit, I bought a used 07 3500. A month or so after it bent a pushrod. Warranty repair. On they're test run it bent another. Fixed it. I asked why? Dodge told me because the owner before my must have idled a lot and the engine was built up with carbon and sticking valves. They wanted to hook it up ro some system they had and run a cleaner through my engine.
AT MY COST and it was expensive.
Nope. I bought Seafoam and dumped a whole bottle in the tank. Next tank got another bottle. About half way through that tank I was on the highway, as usual, and my engine coughed and sputtered and freaked me out then ran smoother than it has since I bought it. Sold the truck a year later still running well. Lucky me.

Cleaned old motorcycle carbs.
Took old carbs off an XS1100 i had sitting outside for a few years with no air box attached to the carbs and no exhaust attached. Just a parts bike. Snow, rain, dirt allowed to do what it wanted. Pulled them off, sprayed with carb clean and put them on my running XS1100. Did not dismantle the four carbs. Half can of Seafoam in the tank and hit the highway. Ran perfect. Lucky again.

Fixed my TPS on my 01 Ram 5.2L. Truck idles now anyway. Carb cleaned the throttle body and dumed a can of Seafoam into the running engine through the throttle body. Smoked like mad, loved it. Stalled it out with the Seafoam and let it sit half hour. Fired it up. Smoked awesome. Has yet to have a bad idle since. Before about once a week it wouldn't idle. Had to drive it a mile or so and then it would run ok. Has not given me any issue in the last few months. Lucky again.

I use it in everything.

Never put it in the oil though. Just fuel tank.
