Why do so many people spend so much extra money on replacing coils when most likely they can fix it for $5 or less per boot/spring? C'mon people! If you just got money to throw away I'll take it!!! LOL

Its not a lot off but 300$ allowed me to put that 300$ somewhere else..

*edit heres why*

I wanted the 3 yr warranty
I just replaced mine at Ford dealership. Their 3yr/unlimited mile warranty was what sold me as well.

I was 7400+ but they fixed the faulty console shifter as well. With the rewards program they gave me $410 credit towards any future repair work. Little did I know 10 days later I would use it for a new tranny. 😕

I am planning to fix whatever the issues is but i know at some point i am going to need a new engine at some point so im starting my research now.

Sorry to hear that,

I had my tranny and rear end serviced about 10 days later. As well as I had the motor serviced. figured cheap insurance to drop the filter and drain the oil at near 1k on the new motor.

One thing I did forget was to have the transfer case serviced../facepalm.
I'll prolly wait until winters over now..

Thanks. I knew the tranny was going to need to be rebuilt too, I just thought I'd limp it along until summer. Pfft...wishful thinking.

My next service is transfer case, diffs and radiator flush.
