Did it just like you said, waited 15mins then drove for like 10 minutes on the the highway. Man did it smoke! Once the smoke cleared I got off the highway and headed home. Idles better already I've noticed!

yea man seafoam is a miracle drug for cherokees. Plus you get an excuse to drive the ba**s out her to burn it all out. You can also put about 8ozs in your engine oil when your 100 miles away from an oil change

yup the same one we dumb oil in. You can also you a quart of tranny fluid i here but im more accustom to this. Its 1.5oz per quart of oil in there and make sure you dont drive more than 100 miles with it in there. Its gonna clean the heck outta it. Your next oil change will be black as a hole. Also run a quart of oil through as a sacrfice to gett everything out

I think my last post wasn't written well did it on my phone. So yea when you're about 100 miles left run about 8oz and only that into you oil and when you do your oil change sacrifice an extra quart of oil and run it through the engine with drain plug open just to make sure everything is out. Then fill her up and you're golden. Also you can run a full can of seafoam into your empty gas tank and fill up with your favorite gas.

Warning received loud and clear! When I do it, I'll make sure to set my trip/odometer and change it at or just less than 100 miles. Thanks for the idea with the extra quart of oil too.
