the hughes plate can be ordered online from hughes

the death flash was Dodges cheap fix to the plenum issue. so the dumbed down the computer to keep it from ticking and pinging. you have reflas the computer, i believe the best way is with an SCT tuner, but you can also get mopar performance computers, or find other ways to relfash you comp.

Just email this guy:

hemifever@aol.com

He'll hook you up right with the correct SCT. The guy tuning it is way more important than the device itself.

Never created a video before. I'll see if I can figure it out with my digital camera.

My truck had a sllight miss at idle and died at idle a few times when warm. The worst was when the truck would get warm, it would sputter and pop. I would put it in neutral and rev it. Seemed like it would clear out. I did replace the pre cat 02 sensor along with a full tune up (plugs,wires,rotor cap). It used about a quart and a half between my 3,000 mile oil changes. With the hughes plate installed, there has been no oil burning.

Did the Hughes Plate Fix your problem with the sputtering and popping?
