'96 Ram cutting out under load!
Hey guys, new member here. I have a 1996 Ram 1500 5.9 that cuts out under acceleration on a cold start, it doesn't matter if it's morning or afternoon or if it's hot or cold outside. The truck will sputter under a load and has stalled at a stop a couple times. But once I drive it for a few minutes she runs like a champ. I recently replaced the cylinder heads after they cracked on me and I installed true dual straight pipes to glass packs. The truck was not doing this before I did those things. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

No I wish it threw a MIL. I did the distributor, cap and rotor as well as plugs and wires when I originally did the intake manifold. I had to go back in after I found out my heads were cracked but I did not touch the distributor at all this time.

Plenum gasket was very bad, I was gonna go for the Hughes kit hut I ended up doing the fel-pro since I needed to have her up and running quickly to get to work. Cat was removed when I did the true duals (Gotta love Florida!) plugs were old and rusty, they're good now after doing the heads.

Then I would check plugs and wires to the temp sensors, and your O2 sensors. When you removed the cat, what did you do about the front O2 sensor? The non-fouler trick? Just removed it but no codes?

Update: This morning I decided to let the truck warm up more than usual and instead of taking off quickly I slowly accelerated. The truck began to sputter and backfire a little bit and died at the stop sign, fired right back up and had trouble idling. I got on the gas and took off, sputtered again and cleared up. Truck runs great and idles great after I get going and ONLY does this in the morning after it's been sitting.
