I used their coils and lost everyone over a 6 month time period to shorts and opens. Product of the great wall of China (PRC).
If the ones you are looking at are any better go for them.
Putting any other coils on thinking you will get improved performance is waisted thought and money.
There is no power gains from coils in a stock engine.
If your stock coils are good, just put plugs and boots in.
Otherwise the tune up consists of fuel filter, air filter, clean up of the IAC and throttle body, carbon check behind the EGR valve, fan belt, coolant, OX sensors etc.
Good luck.

Thanks for the info. This will be my third set of Coils for this truck. My original factory set died due to Moisture Issues (AKA) Washing the engine. The current set of coils that are on the truck now are the cheap ones of ebay, They have 80,000 Miles on them so far.

Bluegrass, are you running the stock Motorcraft COP'S?

I recommend the 10 pack of DG508's. - That way you have a couple spares, just in case. Can't beat the price and their just as good as OEM , or better. Accel's are the worst as far as individual coils (COP systems).

Their located in Miami, shouldn't take long to get.
