Type of Fuel injector cleaner to use

Asked by Matthew May 17, 2018 at 11:08 PM about the 2004 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT Quad Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Got an older well used truck that I try to keep running. It's just under 300,000
km and I continue to have hesitations and random stalling while going under
50km/hr. I've tried to clean out the throttle body but the Stalling continued. I
know the last time it had some injector cleaner it ran well for awhile.

Was looking for any recommendations on type of cleaner to use.

300K km, thats about 500 miles, rite?!? Dijya do the simple stuff yet? Check your air filter, spark plugs? Are there any codes displayed? The catalytic converters don't age well, does your exhaust sound deep n throaty or weak n asthmatic when you varoom, varoom her in the driveway? Try a different gas station if you suspect the gas. Clogging injectors shouldn't return that quickly after cleaning unless the gas is really bad.
