I need to get my truck a much needed tune up and while Im at it change the coil packs.. I had Justin B looking for some packs and they are over 80.00 per pack and that is crazy.. :mad: I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere else that would be cheaper...

Thanks!!!

Thanks!!!If it ain't broke don't fix it. Either a coil pak works or not, replacing a good coil pack is a waste of money. I'll sell you all you want for 65 a piece:tu:

I need to save moneyHow many miles do you have on the truck? Probably won't hurt if you have lot of miles on it to get it done while you are at it as they do get build-up on the coils inside. Not a necessary item though if the truck runs fine and isn't missing.

I have 63,000 on it.. The only thing that is giving me problems right now is my trottle body sensor and Im getting that fixed tomorrow...

Krystle, for the price of a new set of coil packs, I would recommend keeping your in til they go out or til you can find a deal on some. I thought I had another set w/ 17,000 miles on them somewhere. I will see if I can dig them up.

This link is something you should read. This is the only known documented fact that I have found about coil packs, but it was done by a truthful person.

I had one go bad at 27K so I replaced all mine. If it was my truck with that mileage and they had never been replaced I would do it. But I think it depends on your driving and what kind of performance you expect out of your vehicle. If you can't afford to buy them at the moment, start saving now and replace them when you have the money. With the right tools this is very easy to do.
