Hello evreyone, this is my first post so please bear with me as it will be long.
I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 with the 8.0l v10 engine and automatic transmission. It has 168,000 miles.
I have a persistent P0174 (lean bank 2) code. I have had it at two reputable shops, but after three weeks they each told me they needed to pull off and work on vehicles that they could make money at. I have spent more money on this truck than it is worth, but into the game so far now I can't afford to fold.
I replaced both heads, all the O2 sensors, the cat. converter, the MAP sensor, the spark plugs, the plug wires, the ECM and the code persists. The shops tell me the injectors and the ignition coils are working properly, the fuel pressure is right on and the engine compression is good across the board. We introduced smoke to look for vacuum leaks with negative results.
Bank 2 STFT runs 16.2 at 2500 RPM, LTFT runs 32.8. Should be below 10
Bank 1 STFT runs 6.2 and LTFT runs 9.8. No code for bank 1 yet.
I do have a misfire that I can hear, but no other codes appear.
I've already spent $3000 with shops and still have the problem. I live in California and it won't pass smog the way it is. Does anyone have any idea where to look from here?
Thanks,
