Default Mystery misfire

I have a 02 2500 with the 5.9 magnum with a misfire I can’t figure out. I changed the plugs, wires, coil pack, distributor cap, a good compression check and the injectors but it’s still misfiring off of multiple cylinders. Please help 😂

What plugs did you install? How old are the O2 sensors? Done a compression test?

The plugs may be at least part of your problem. Change 'em out for some good copper plugs. These engines tend not to like the rare earth fellers.

Default Plugs porcelain chipped tip!

If you're giving a code that says random misfire on a specific plugs. This just happened to us the other day random misfire on 2 and 7. That's all it said. So we pulled the plug and the porcelain near the tip of the spark plug had been chipped. Hope this helps if not it may help someone else in the future. Have a good day
