Hello,
This is my first post. Thanks for reading.I have owned several 2nd generation 4x4 rams with 318, 360, CTD and V-10. I am having trouble pinning down an issue with my 1995 ram 2500 4x4 v-10. The truck has 25,000 actual miles on it. I can smell raw fuel when the truck idles (poorly although I realize most v-10's do). The truck gets very poor mileage (even for a v-10 dodge). I have a new set of mopar performance plug wires that have yet to be installed. I have checked each cylinder for spark with a timing light and they all seem to fire. I live in SC and would welcome any suggestions of a mechanic familiar with this motor. I would be willing to travel if needed. I am also very handy with a wrench. I really like the truck and would like to see if I can get it running a little better. Thanks again for reading and any advice you may be able to offer.

 

Welcome to the forum!
Could be either bad o2 sensor, pcm possibly or bad cat(s)
Sorry cant help on a mechanic in your area, Im north of the 49th

 

thanks for the reply. my computer was reflashed in 01 or so. has a official dodge sticker written on in ball point pen. Just don't have any faith in the local dealers. Any simple tests to eliminate the cats or o2 sensor? Thanks again.
