Looking for OEM? But doing a google search on the part number turns up a lot of results. Ebay seems to be flooded with them.

Just bought mine here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...il+Kit&x=0&y=0

Was the cheapest i found and it's amazon so its legit. Coils work great. These are for the 3 valve, don't remember if your motor is a 2 or 3

That is the correct number. Get them from Global on ebay for $115.

I prefer to buy judges myself, but they are not as cheap as the cops are.

Recommend using the OEM COPs. Most of the threads on the forums have shown that the aftermarket ones aren't very reliable. I'd recommend an online OEM Ford parts dealer like Rock Auto.

Are you serious? Global has a great rep on here. Many have bought them and had like 2 failures.

Yes although I was talking about aftermarket COPs like GMS, MSD, Accel, Weapon X etc. I've never heard of the Globals though, do you have a link to them?

Ok, I fully agree on those, there have been several reports of failures. I no longer have the link, but it is Global Automotive on ebay. Others have used U-neek with good success.

Are these Global plugs designed after the OEM pugs?

Look identical, even have the same number engraved on them. They do not have the label stuck on top. Only difference I see.

They even come with the boots, which surprised me.

i have been a Ford technician since the release of the 3v in 2003 and i can honestly say i have NEVER replaced a coil in a single truck. The factory ones seem to be bulletproof. What makes you guys think you need coils? The 2v ones on the other hand are very problematic.
