COP Failures! More?
Anyone else experiencing coil pak failures. I just had my third one go bad now and my truck is just over 110K on it. Is this normal?
I was thinking about just replacing all the rest so I don't have to worry about it. There are some pretty good deals on Ebay for new v8 and v10 sets.

There was this one guy on here, Thomas, that had a coil go bad everytime it rained. I can't remember who it was though.
At any rate, the coils will allow some moisture into the plug cavity if not sealed enough. Do you run through waterholes frequently? Other than that I can't say. I have replaced one in 105K miles, but am thinking I have another (or two) maybe getting weak now - especially on humid mornings. I get a little sputter for a minute or two...a dead giveaway.

Yea, I've got a lease up on the sulphur river, it's land locked so I go through pretty big ditches (about 2 1/2 ft water) to get in durning the winter.
I'm gonna try putting some silicone down there on the rest of them and hope that keeps some moisture out.
Thanks,
Thomas
