I have a 1998 Dodge Ram truck with the 5.9 engine. I replaced the sparkplugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor button. She still has a miss at idle and worse when first taking off. She smooths out until the overdrive shifts in then she chugs when driving normal. If I gear down one and have more rev it doesn't chug and buck. If I run her hard she smooths out but I can tell she just isn't right, and not hitting on all 8.

Yes, I agree the OD amplifies the reaction a ton. She has the miss; not a real bad miss. It misses more when driving esp. Around 40_45 mph on the road. Seems better when accelerating or a higher rpm.

No sir I'm not sure about the pentium, but I'll research it, check it and post my results today. Autozone sold my wife champion spark plugs whivh I gapted and installed. I didn't like those becouse, I was taught Mopar runs best on Autolite sparkplugs. But since she had already bought them, I installed them.
