Default Stutters and backfires through TB

Hello everyone.
I am new to the forum and am having problems with my 94 1500 with a 5.2 V8. I recently replaced the cap, rotor, plugs, wires, O2 sensor and EGR valve. It would idle rough but that has gone away. The main problem that I am having is that when I accelerate it will stutter and sometimes sounds like it is popping back through the TB. When I am at a steady speed above 40 mph it surges, like it is bucking. No check engine light comes on. I took it in to a garage to see if they could find out what wasing causing the problem and all they said was it was low on tranny fluid and it was putting out a code for tranny high temp. If anyone has any idea what this could be I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Might be the crank sensor. Just guessing though without any codes.

Your engine is very particular when it comes to the routing, and shielding of the plug wires....

SSDD!I have a 95 ram1500 4x4 5.2 and is doing the same thing.I also replaced all that you did,now im putting a trans kit in it today to see if that cures the bucking,also you need to check your fuel pressure.it should be 60 to 70 psi,any lower then i would change the fuel pump because the filter is made on the pump in the tank,lmao.But my truck is not backfiring like yours is!Good luck with yours and this will be my last dodge because of all the problems!
