Engine randomly cuts out, lights stay on
#11
I fought my better judgment to have the parts swapped and opted to just purchase one through the dealership, as I should have done to begin with.
Yours definitely makes a lot more sense. Lol.

Hey guys quick update! Took her into the dealership and had them put a mopar CPS in. Seems to have resolved my random shut off problem. Does not seem to stall from reverse to drive either anymore which is awesome.
As my luck would have it while I was driving away from the dealership, Right as I got up to 40MPH the truck started to shake, as if both my front tires had just popped and I heard the truck back fire several times. No codes.
It does this every time now, I have found that if I press on the gas below 30 so that the RPMs get to about 2.5 I can get through 40-50 with no shaking and no back fires. 60+ feels fine although there is a slight.. grinding feeling under my legs. I don’t know how to describe it better other than it almost feels like a bearing grinding but I just replaced those and had them checked again.
I also noticed that during the shaking if I hit the gas it hesitates to go but will eventually kick up and stop shaking. It will also occasionally let me feather the gas pedal just light enough to cruise through 40-50 MPH.
One more thing, I know it’s difficult to reciprocate my appreciation on a forum via text but I am confident without yalls help my truck would not be on the road today. I explained in a previous thread that this is way more than a truck to me. Some guys haul trees and rock and some haul 4-wheelers and if she breaks it’s on to the next one. To me, at least for the moment is the only way I can get to a paycheck. So thank you.

It could be anything lol At a halt getting deployed on the 9th. I am going to try to finish my write up on a custom triangular 4 link front end so there will be no more panhard bar and no more death wobble

and yea I know I am going to pull plugs and stuff see what I got going on. Hoping she throws codes soon so I can maybe track it down a little easier lol.

Theses trucks either are too picky and throw codes or don't care and won't throw codes

@everyone
So I finally received some codes. Standard P0300, Cylinder 5,7,8 and occasionally 4 are misfiring. I see 8 every time. The others sometimes disappear. Got around to pulling the plug on number 8. This is what it looks like, I realized I said the plugs are new but they actually have 10K almost on the dime. I'm curious as to why I am seeing rust though, as water does not get into this bay. They're super dry and I have just driven the truck today and let it sit for about 3.5 hours to let the engine cool. Does this mean I am not getting fuel to this plug? Would this be enough to cause cylinder misfires?
