Pretty simple question. Looking to do some cleaning/maintenance and going to pick up some BG44k as soon as I can figure out a supplier and was wondering if there is anything that they have that can be used like seafoam is used through the throttle body or brake booster lines. Most everything I see on their website talks about using their proprietary equipment.

Add the BG44K to the gas tank.

I recommend Chrysler Combustion Chamber Cleaner (from the dealer) for direct application through the TB instead of Seafoam.

I completely agree with Ken on this one.

I've seen Chrysler Combustion Chamber Cleaner on amazon for about $12 which is what most have reported the dealer charges.

Not sure if you'll save anything on amazon but at least it avoids a trip to the dealer. The experience at the closest Chrysler dealer to me is about as fun as a root-canal or colonoscopy. You have to beat off about 10 sales people on your way to the parts dept. for them to tell you that they're out and will have to order it (no matter what you want, they never seem to have anything in stock aside from oil/air filters), beat off the sales people again walking back to your vehicle, and then when you return to pick up the parts/accessories you have to beat off the sales people again (both to and from the parts dept.). And the "better" dealers are a 15-20 mi drive.

MCCC is awesome stuff, I tried it in my 99 Polaris sportsman 500 just for kicks


night and day difference


then I took the brake booster vac line off on my 98 dodge 1500. With the warm motor running sprayed it down the vac line. Cured the rough idle ive noticed that truck developed.


Cant wait to get a jeep and do all these little things again


I bought mine at a local jeep dealer, think I paid 10.99 for it or something like that


stuff works awesome

Ignorance here by me. What is MCCC? is it that Chrysler Combustion Chamber Cleaner? Temecula Jeep dealer has it for $9.30
I'll use it on my Chevy to get it smogged now.

I just bought 4 cans of BG44K. How often should I use it in my Jeep? Every 6 months? I'm anxious to try the stuff.
