Yep thats the one. They refused to mount them at first because i didnt buy from them, so i said well ill just go elsewhere no worries and a guy came back and said he'd do it for $100 cash. Should have left at that point...so i dont think theres any going back. Either way, i dont want them touching my tires or wheels again

Have them break the bead, rotate the tire 180 degrees on the wheel, inflate again, and balance again.

It's not a curse and I wouldn't expect you to always do things right and fast, in fact you have done a fantastic job in view of the circumstances. I was amazed with the work you have done on the exhaust. Lots of men don't know an end wrench from a box wrench and you have shown them all up.

They're going to a place that does all pickup and big truck stuff there. My good friend told me he had his 37s done there and they have 0 weights. No vibrations or odd wear.

Umm lost it where? Rolled down the driveway, sitting on your engine cross member, in your shop vac- kind of lost - tore the garage apart and it just disappeared?

Also it's not uncommon on these trucks to have no CEL but trouble codes present; non-OBD-II compliant trucks will never set a CEL for a misfire.

If it's misfiring at idle you just have to unplug them one by one until you don't hear a difference. That one is your bad COP, because it wasn't working before or after you unplug it.
Not true. I've indeed had them be fine at idle and buck like a bronco under load.

i second that, all my missing issues were under load. idle and heavy throttle it was smooth. ended up replacing all the coils twice. first time with cheap ebay coils..after about 6 months they started failing. finally bought 10 motorcraft coils and now alittle over a year(and 10k) later she purrs like a kitten.

MIA lost. No idea where it went at all. Opened the bag when I got the headers, went to put all the lock washers on today, n one is gone... O well I need different bolts for the collectors and the flang for the cat

Need some longer bolts, some springs(putting springs on the ball socket collectors to keep them tight) and make the existing exhaust fit into the adaptor.

Sooooo, I think that I have a COP going bad...

Any good Ideas how to tell which one?

Thanks!

eeny meeny miny moe?

I actually did that since mine was fine at idle and pulling them one at a time didn't make a difference. Figured I'd just start at the front on one side and work my way around. Got it right on the first cylinder.

(I had already done plugs and boots so I knew it was a coil.)
