Well, got the truck back and so far it looks like after all this time and money it was simply a plug with small fractures in it, much like my buddy here above. Hopefully this solves all the problems. I am going to wash it in the morning and see if it dies, let's hope...

Don't get water in the plug pockets. It will short out the COP's and possibly burn them up. @ over $65 a piece, that's over $520 to replace them all!!!

If you need to detail and or clean the motor and you will be getting it wet make, sure that you let the motor sit for a long time before starting to make sure that it is completely dry. The coil packs are the culprit, if they are wet you will eventually get the same scenerio. You don't want the rear coil packs to bust b/c they are a b!@ch to get to and to get out if you don't have the correct tools and or patience.

If you have an air compressor, you might want to short blast some air around the coil packs after washing to remove any standing water in the deep recessed areas where the plug sits.

Good Luck

Well, it seems that the spark plugs were the problem after all. I washed the car and it has been in the rain and no problems. It seems insane after 5 months and much money spent that all along it was the stupid spark plugs. Don't have a whole lot of confidence in the dealership anymore, if I ever had any.
