Bank 1 misfires

I have to keep it. This is my work truck, so I can't really let it sit for any length of time. I will swap a v8 before I rebuild the 6. But cheaper is better, and if I can just address the one problem I would do that. Realistically I know the motor is shot, 150,000 miles is a lot to ask of a Dodge motor. I hate to say that, but I really work this truck hard. The body is perfect, and a new trans, I can't see letting it go.

Seafoam!!!
I just ran a can of Seafoam through the truck and now it runs perfectly! I had never heard of this stuff, but it works. I did it exactly as the instructions tell you: 1/3 can into the intake (almost a third, when you get half of the third into the motor dump the remainder of the third to stall the motor) a third into the crankcase, and the last into the gas tank. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes then start it up and rev the pure hell out of it. Lots of white smoke and black water from the exhaust pipe. It will smell like a nitro gas engine for a while, but it fied the problem. I will post a link to the video as soon as I post it. For $10 my truck runs again. Give this a try, I spent almost $900 on parts and mechanics to look at and fix this problem. $10 bucks, I can't believe it!

Here is the link to the youtube video. So far the truck is doing well all things considered.

Mine just now started to skip a little around the 45-60 mph range. That is nowhere as bad as it had been though. I will run another can in a few weeks, I want to see how much worse it will get. I know that sounds crazy, but I want to see just how temporary this fix is. I still believe there are some mechanical issues in the engine. We will see...
