- 5.9L Small Block Mopar Magnum
I got a 94 ram with the 5.9L, have had a little work done to it, nothing major, rebuild, bored .030 over, bigger cam, bigger throttle body, aftermarket ecu/pcm, cold air intake, 180 thermostat, few other general upgrades, nothing all too major.
So he few things I've noticed, when I;m driving it, it almost feels as if it's 'catching' on something, or a feeling of hitting gravel when driving on a perfectly level and smooth road, it doesn't do it constantly or all the time is the thing. It is mostly noticeable if driving about 55mph+ and i take it out of OD, it will begin to stutter is what it seems like, I've even heard a metallic sounding noise a few times, no engine lights have been thrown at me. It'll do it in OD as well sometimes, just not nearly as bad or much as it would be if i switch it into 3rd. Wondering if it is a misfire, I need to take it and get it fuel synced somewhere due to the bigger cam, crank sensor, or if it might be a transmission problem.
If anyone have some leads or ideas that i might be able to follow, let me know, I would greatly appreciate it. Family truck, just trying to keep it going and keep it in the family, almost 400k miles on the old boy. engine rebuilt less than 25k ago
