The outside diameter should be within a quarter inch on all 4 tires or your speed sensors will get confused.

Most of the parts are available from Advance or AutoZone and maybe all of them.

There are some recent posts that mention a company that sell the parts for the T-case. Check through the last 2 weeks of posts. Rockford something, i think.

When you consider it, the COP's are a good idea. In the "old" days if your coil died your truck was dead. Now if a coil dies you are still able to get home. Of course you have a greater chance of a coil dying.

Not really. For single coil systems the coil fires 8 times as much as with the COP design. Theoretically each COP should last 8 times longer than a single coil would've.

Theoretically is the key. My thought is you increase the chances that you could get a coil with a defect, or other problem that would lead to an early death.
I have run single coil systems for 15 years and 150,000+ miles without a failure, but have had 2 coils fail on my 97 with 135K mi. In fact this is the only vehicle I have ever had a coil failure on.
