Don't get me wrong I used the whole bottle too...I just went by all those words on the can and the part that said 1/3 of a pint via a vac line. No biggie whatever works for ya. I think it says to let it sit for 5 mins after application too..maybe that's why it didn't produce smoke...like I said there's no OF on my rigs PS, can't speak for durangos tho..

My wife drives the truck and... well... she is just a woman. So there wasn't a problem to her until it finally died. I don't know how it was acting for her. But it was a tremble and a little shake when it idle off in reverse for me. It took around fifteen minutes or so for it to take the whole can and the smoke to thin out, about 2/3 through before the smoke started. Didn't even think about the words on the can... I'm bad about that sometimes. That letting it sit for a few minutes might work better. Who knows.

If it was running smooth before the plenum fix, and then missing after the plenum fix, the crank sensor isn't going to solve it.

Ah. That's a bit different then.

If you can.... have a look at the flywheel. Specifically, the open spots the crank sensor uses to read when its a good time to fire a cylinder.

Crap accumulating on the sensor itself, and in the slots that it reads. (dirt shouldn't matter.... metallic crap WILL.)
