P0420 is an issue with your rear O2 sensor... have you done any mods to your exhaust system?

No mods on my exhaust system...

I have to put off both mufflerss this weekend to see. No difference of code error.
I put back the mufflerss just to run this week because I has to make many miles.

Do I have to change my 02 sensor ?

The last week, the motor is stop alone by driving! Twice!

O2 problem ?

P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

Thats what your code means, probably a bad CAT, but i would replace the o2 first it's cheaper.

May have something to do with converting the truck to LPG, I don't know for sure just a guess.

If you replace the o2 make sure it is a factory one, the aftermarket ones tend to be a problem.

Thank you for your answer.

I think it's because LPG AND Ethanol conversion...
I drive with 50% E85 and LPG.

Everybody in France drives American V8 with Ethanol or LPG. Except the old cars (... but I have see in France 72 Charger with LPG system !)

That's the code I've been throwing more recently with no cats. Even though I haven't had cats for 18 months I just started getting this code a few months ago
