I would just use heavier wires and say the hell with that TSB, that was wrote up as a fix forthe crappy cheap, light wires that Diamler puts on their vehicles.

Thank you very much for your feedback, I will check the plugs. This is the first and ONLY time it happened since I own this truck and happened only at that specificmoment, no more blinking light since then and engine is running solid and strong. Like you said, it may need a tune-up.
Check the wire routing, but I would also recommend a pressure check on the cat. The muffler shop that installed my exhaust system does it at no charge.

BTW - There is no such thing as a "tune up" anymore. Tune ups covered adjusting the valves, points, distributor, etc. I bet over half of the people on this board don't even know what points are.

I do, had fun playing on my 1971 Dodge Demon setting the points. Those were the good old days...............................

Oh and just in case there are people who have heard of the Dodge Demon, 340 wasnt the stock motor.......
