The tool is a low as $30 on ebay used. I just picked one up for $36 + $8 ship.

Only parts places (NAPA/Advance/Autozone) are they selling for $100+.

Is that uncommon to have under 100k? I only have 76k on an 08 but I only drive about 7 miles one way to work. I bought the truck in 09 with 24k on it...

I wish we could collect all these oem coils people have been throwing away

People oem coils are the best, clean them up-- contacts that is . They are not like spark plugs /boots .They rarely go bad . Prettier colored ones are not as good . Save lots of money by cleaning them .
