Personally, I would stay away from these. While they may work for a short amount of time, the general concensus is that cheap coils aren't worth their weight in poop.

What about Motorcraft? I mean, you do want your truck to run correctly, right?

Motorcraft and only Motorcraft, only one I would ever use other than Motorcraft is Weapon X.

I had a motorcraft cop fail at 50k and at 60k. The advanced auto Chinese cops are still going at 80k and 70k. Based on the failure rate I experienced with the motorcraft, I don't think they're good enough to purchase again. Motorcraft cop will run you about $50 to $60, all 8 from ebay $60. I think it worth a shot

Agreed..

I love motorcraft cops when they are working great, but I hate them when they fail.. It's a crapshoot either way..

I hear the granitelli cops are decent, but some say they give off too much EMF, and others say they suck all together.
I also hear some good feedback on the sultan of spark SOS cops. They apparently claim you can open the gap on your plugs due to their higher energy.. If this is true then easier, brisker starts and a good clean idle can be expected. But i will still be happy if they just plain old work. (I Might try these next with some zero ohm boots)..

As for the Accel coils, that's what I'm running now with no complaints.. I've prob got a solid 20k on them so far.

Point is, a cops a cop, I've got one duralast cop that worked great when one of my motorcrafts let me down.. Changing cops while they are healthy is also a great idea. This way you have plenty of good cops lying around to replace an inevitable cop failure...

I had a 01 F250 with the 5.4, sold it with 175K, also a 02 Excursion 6.8 with 135K and now my F150 5.4 with 120k, never a COP failure. I do replace the boot and spring as well as clean the copper contact in the COP nipple at every plug change.
