I have a 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 V8 5.9 and when it gets to quarter tank of gas it'll start shaking really bad and if I sit at a red light with my foot off the break it'll slowly shake and move forward, also if I go about 50mph barely tapping on the peddle it shakes until I push the peddle firmer. I took it to the show and the gentlemen told me the engine is jus miss firing... is that all it could be or could it be more?


Please help

It sounds like a firing problem.I would start with using some gas line antifreeze first. Then you could try a new distributor cap and wires.It is wise to try the cheepest things first. How many miles on truck? Maybe a set of plugs and air filter would help.
