if you put anything other then champion plugs in anything dodge makes youll get a missfire most ppl dont know this but chances r if you bought bosch plugs replace them with champion plugs youll knotice a much smoother running engine.

best way to get the fireing order is to call dealership or buy a haynes manual or chiltons if you can read stereo instructions..i prefer haynes

One other bit of info is get OEM wires or better such as msd. Also make sure you haven't crossed your wires.

If you are standing in front of the truck looking down onto the distributor, the tab on the cap that the screw goes in on the left side, going counter clockwise goes 12756348, the tab is in between the #1 and #8, so make sure you start at the tab and go counter clockwise to the #1 connector.

The pistons start on the drivers side front to back 1357 and the passenger side front to back 2468.

Make sure you didn't put in bosch platinums too! Do a search in the forum fora topic called "Talk about platinums" i explain platinums and how bad the bosch ones are.

I have a very simple diagram for the firing order. Email me and I'll send it right over to you. Works perfect (there is only one way for it to work anyways)
