Ram Year

5.2
I have a 1998 dodge ram with a 5.2 liter engine, I have recently done a ton of updates to this thing and now I have a problem and could use some help. I have only owned the truck for about a month and so far have replaced all shocks with rancho 5000's, added a two inch suspension lift, 315/75/16 tires, replaced upper and lower ball joints, replaced sway bar end links and bushings, new rotors, calipers, front and rear brakes, new u-joints on the front axle, new wheel bearings, rear differential fluid replaced along with gasket, plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. Here is where I have the problem...swapped the cap and rotor and since the motor is running fine on idle but rough when given gas like a sputter or backfire. I have checked the firing order making sure wire by wire at least ten times to make sure that wasnt the problem. If anyone has any ideas on what I could have done wrong or what the problem could be the help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Did you get the correct heat range plugs?

2. Look around in the "Tech Area" and re-post this question under the appropriate section for the proper year of your truck, etc.

That will get you a much quicker, more accurate response from a wider range of owner / members with the same year/make/model.

Good luck. And Welcome!
