Well, I put some techron in the tank a couple days ago and rechecked all the ignition parts. The plug wires I've been using are fairly new, but an el'cheapo brand I had bought from advance auto. When you pull em off the plugs, the connectors would come out of the boots. Anyway I put the old mopar wires back on(had saved them since they were still in pretty good condition) and after running the truck for about a hundred miles with the techron it seems to be doing fine. I don't know it never stutters when cruising down the road. It would only act up at a red light and sometimes on takeoff from a idle. Maybe I had a bad wire or injector acting up? I'm still not convinced that the problem isn't gonna come back but for now it seems to be o.k.
