Seafoam lost top end! help!?
i used seafoam in my 97 dodge ram 1500 5.9l slt laramie 4x4. i slowly poured half in the main vaccum line and have yet to put other half in the gas tank, shut it off, waited 5 mins, turned it on let the smoke clear up, then test drove. when you floor it it revs to 2.5k rpm and bogs kinda then shifts instead of reving close to the redline and shifting perfect like it used to. but i can do a burnout when i couldnt before. so it bogs but i gained aLOT of torque. whats going on? be as specific as possible im not car illiterate ive been around them my whole life.
well first off. it you google seafoam, 70% of people put it in the main vaccum line. which would be the one that connects to the master cylinder and leads to the intake, it dumps right into every cylinder and that is why you put it there. it does a MAJOR clean of everything and this was one very dirty motor. secondly the person who told me to put it there was the directions on the bottle, and it being that seafoam has been around for god knows how long (1950's i believe) i trust that it wouldnt just say do it there. i asked my dad and he believe that the truck may have a vaccum line that leads to the tranny for some sensor? something like that and when it cleaned out most of it the rest just gunked up and is clogged down there and said i have to take that line off and clean it out. it sounds reasonable. if i manually shift the car from 1st to 2nd then drive it is perfect. but when i floor it from a stop it bogs at 2500 and shifts to 3rd but if i floor it going like 50 then its perfect.

im with mark ,who told you to pour it in to a vacuum line,because you don't ever need to do that on any vehicle,all you needed to do was add it to the gas tank,you may have eat a line in to now on it so id check that,or check for a loose one and change the plugs in it ,anytime you use that stuff run it a while and the add new plugs to it,good luck.

I replied your till now question; no one likes extremely each and every thing approximately themselves. while you're youthful food is so significant. eating balanced food on a daily basis can relatively enhance your ability. It doesnt could be organic and organic, basically protein(meat, tofu, etc) and culmination and greens! additionally exercising is superb significant. in spite of if its basically going for a short walk around the block. Making acquaintances has continually been not basic for me, and that i understand that that's easy to sense rejected in case you have social stress. you'll be open with human beings, rather of basically asserting hi, say hi! my names so and so! that's consumer-friendly to sense misunderstood, yet that doesnt make it any eaiser. attain out to human beings, connect golf equipment, consult with people who look extraordinary. Its not basic even regardless of the undeniable fact that it may help. i desire this reaches you, and if it enables write tips about your hand so which you will discover it and be like oh! suited! in case you're saying the sky is seafoam, then you definately will in no way settle for people who dont even understand you achieving out to you, basically because of the fact they might. i desire this permits. remember popularity is the biggest(: terrific!

What vacuum line and who told you to do that? In the tank is fine. Where exactly did you put it?
