You might of crossed some wires, go to auto zone web site there you can see a diagram of the firing order, and check to see if wires are in the right place, if truck ran before you replaced the plugs then its got to be crossed wires, hope this is helpful.

My truck won't go out first gear

1996 Dodge ram 1500 NO ENGINE TOLD OF 5.GAS ENGINES
3.9 TO 8.0LITERS. AND A DIESEL NOT YOURS.
POST YOUR VIN AND WE KNOW WHAT ENGINE IS THERE. X5

SO IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION?, YOU DID NOT SAY DRIVE IS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR.?
PRNDL
DOES REVERSE AND LO(L) WORK?
CHECK FUSES?
SCAN IT YET?
CHANGE SPARK PLUGS 1 AT A TIME?
IF YOU MESSED UP SPARK THE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE SUPER HARD AND HORRIBLE POWER AND NOT GO FAST ENOUGH TO GET TO 2ND GEAR.
IF ENGINE (NONE TOLD ) HAS COIL PACK WITH 2 OR MORE SPARK WIRES, THOSE MUST NEVER BE MIXED UP.

3.9 LITER
SPARK
The front coil pack fires six cylinders and the rearward coil pack fires four cylinders.
NEVER MIX THESE UP
5/10, 9/8, 1/6, 7/4 and 3/2.
END 3.9L EXAMPLE.


ONLY CHANGE SPARK PLUG 1 AT A TIME.
ONLY CHANGE COIL PACK HV SPARK WIRES, 1 AT A TIME
OR FAIL YOU WILL. (OR BUY NGK COIL PACKS THAT ARE MARKED CORRECTLY )1e5a17e7-8de3-4f88-ab32-e4faa85901d5.jpg

My 2003 mountaineer engine light is on. the code reads cylinder #8 the spark splugs have been changed, The mechanic says he has to take the top of the engine off to get to the problem. Is this true?

replace the ignition coils if you are having misfires. These engines are known for faulty coils. Replace all 8 spark plugs and coils. Does not require removing top part of the engine.
