did you take the battery cable off...to reset the ECM?

What kind of COP (coil on plug) or as you call it coil pack.

the cheeper COPS have been known to be bad out of the box...Global for one and Accel tend to do this.

did you scan for codes again?

Does the truck run rough at idle? Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Spray some starter fluid around the vacuum lines and listen for an idle change.

You don't say what vehicle you have but on the 5.4s there's a vacuum connection behind the throttle body, by the idle control motor that disintegrates over time.

Every time I had a COP issue the ecu put a code up long before I could feel it. I'd bet on a vacuum leak.

I know this is not going to be met with any populairity but the first thing that needs attention is your attitude.
Second is your not willing to think about anything and third you want some one else to tell you everything.
There is not a vehichle on this planet you won't have a problem with at some point during ownership and be just as irritating to you.
Either settle down or have someone else fix it.
This WTF stuff don't fly or help solve anything.
If you want help, settle down and work with us or sell the truck and get another one of any make, and still be prone to the same things.
Flame away and good luck.

What better place could there be to vent his frustrations than online? You remind me of the guy that yelled at another guy in the bathroom for farting...
