I personally have never heard a single good thing about people that use seafoam...enlighten me - why use it on such a new vehicle?

It's a win/win binary outcome: engine runs better or engine blows and it's Hemi/LS swap time. Higher probability on the latter.

Not only is SeaFoam itself extremely harsh, practically kerosine, the carbon discharge it creates will coat everything it touches starting in the combustion chamber. So you have the atomized seafoam and the crap you're trying to flush out coming into contact with everything from the ignition through the exhaust. For how new the vehicle is, you would need to drive in dirty conditions with no air filter, burning the worst possible gas out there then let it sit for awhile to justify using seafoam. Some thing like Techron concentrate would be much better used at the oil change interval for maintaining a clean fuel system.

Seafoam doesnt have or is cut with kerosene at all. Only cheap brands are

Never said it was or contained kerosine but it has very similar properties.
