Also forgot to add, when I changed the wires, I removed the air filter housing to get to the distributor. The rubber ring that goes to the bottom or the housing to create the seal was dryrotted so I removed it continued to install air filter housing w/out that piece. Is that the cause of my trouble codes? A vaccum leak?
that should not be causing the problem. you could run your truck without it.
X whatever it is now , change the plugs , it's that obvious from what you said . I've had a couple of new plugs that were bad before . I run NGK FR4's on the stock 5.2 and FR5's on the modded 5.2 , great spark plugs for mopars . Very fast starts . Typically , I'd say stay stock until you've modded something , but these NGK's do make a difference , and no , I didn't replace old plugs , the "old" plugs were dealer champions only a few months old but I wanted a colder plug to run with the MSD .
Not a big fan of fancy expensive spark plugs , over the yrs I have tried a few , such as split fires and others , pretty sure they are discontinued , with good reason . If it ain't broke , don't fix it , spark plug design should fall into this catagory
Wow, stupid E3 spark plugs! 60 bucks down the crapper... I bought new Champion plugs and popped them in and she runs flawlessly! I finally got my truck back to normal. I DO NOT RECOMMEND E3 plugs they were junk.

Take those plugs back to the parts store and get a refund.

Maybe the E3's are just more sensitive to the blown plenum gasket you probably have,
