I was looking at COP's on Rockauto the other day. They have a great assortment of them, a variety of price ranges and a variety or warranties. After reading all that, I'm assuming that not all COP's are created equal. The Motorcraft version sells for $5.00 each but carries the best warranty of 12 months or 12K miles whereas the others ranged from 90 days / 3K to 180 days / 6K. The less expensive models were half the price of the MC.

Last april when I bought my 06 Navi I changed out the plugs and all 8 cops with accels. So for I have had to replace 2. One died in september and the other in march. Not saying its a bad product but that was just my experiance. I carry a spare and the tools to change one with me now.

Did you mean $50 bucks each for the Motorcraft coils?

Heh, heh, I also do that all the time when it's a $ sign followed by a 4. I can't seem to coordinate the Shift key I guess.

I guess as long as I don't pressure wash the engine and I correctly install them it's pretty much a crapshoot between any brand

I went with the $90.00 set of eight off eBay. Have had no problems yet, they have been in the truck for about 10 months now.
