How many miles is on this truck?

>100,000 miles?


To save time,please do a combustion block leak test to rule out pin hole head gasket leak.

A shop can do this test in few minutes.

Start monitor for coolant and oil levels.

===
Check the O2 sensors wires and make sure they are not damaged or cut.
===

If the wiring to O2 looks OK then you are ready for new O2.

===

Check and clean the connector of the coolant temperature sensor.

If the dash reading is OFF from the actual thermometer reading then change the coolant temp sensor ASAP.

-----------

EGR leak and carbon blockage can indirectly cause P0171 code.

Cleaning carbon from EGR valve and EGR air passage is a whole day job.

Make sure you has a NEW EGR base gasket before you start.
