Coil pack diagnostic?
Is there a way to check a coil pack? Normally I'd just meter the primary to the secondary coil, but with these new fangdangled things I dunno where to start on them. Brand new plugs and brand new wires with good connections and multiple cylinders on one coil pack doing stupid stuff makes me think I have a dying coil pack. Any thoughts?

I meter mine for comparison. I foolishly replaced mine with Accel COPs and found 3 bad. They have more windings but not good on quality. Bad coils can sometimes not throw a code but not work right.

Try swapping the coil packs and see if the fault codes also swap.
kaboom: Metering COPS is close to a useless exercise. Besides, his truck doesn't have any.
