Ram v10 popping in intake
1999 dodge ram 2500 v10. Today on my way to work i noticed my truck start to shake at 55mph like i was on a rough road then when i stopped at a light i noticed it running rough like it was down a cylinder. So i took off from the light and heard a popping noise as i accelerated and acting like it was missing. so i got to work and opened the hood and i could hear a rattle and as you rev it the rattle gets louder like a valve train noise but sounds like its coming from the plenum and when you rev it hard or take off fast it pops or backfires in the intake. so i drove it home and checked that i had spark to all plugs and pulled the plugs to make sure they were firing and they all looked good with the exception of 1 being a little carboned up and smelled a little like fuel but still sparking bright blue. At first i thought maybe a valve wasnt working like a broken spring or something but now im wondering if maybe its a fuel problem like maybe its running lean or fat on a cylinder like a bad injector but i cant understand the rattle im hearing. so if anyone has any input id appreciate it.

Well it was a broken rocker bolt. Of coarse it was the very back cylinder on the pass side so I had to get a right angle attachment for my drill so I could use an easy out to get the bolt out, but I got it out and should have it running today! Oh yeah and I guess it gets a new plenum gasket since I had to remove the plenum to remove pass side valve cover. Thanks for the help this is why I like forums like these.
