I finally had one original coilpack go out at 131,000 on my 97 and only replaced the bad one. I chaged all 8 plugs also at 131, but the orginals still looked fine.

If MotorCrafts can last that long, why go to anything else?

Pace yourself Denny, you already have 12 posts since you joined - 1969 :eek:

I can get Motorcraft for $55 a pack and Accels for $45,

fuel pump replacement is smart, already done it, twice, every 100k.

I know sticking with OEM is always top choice, do it all the time, this time I was just looking for someone to back me up on replaceing with Accels just for something different.

Just figured every little bit helps with all around performance. Guess I will stick the the Motorcraft.

Accels blow. As said MSD's or Motorcraft. :thumbsup:

I have accel coil packs on my truck, only reason i put them on was because one of the OEMs didn't pass a testing procedure, so I figured I'd put a new set on, accel is a decent company and I have zero complaints. Good acceleration with them, OEM wires still and moto fine wire plat's in her. Gets 21MPG highway and good power! :)

Just ordered a set of 8 coil packs. The first damaged coil was changed under warranty under 30K. Then at around 90K number 7 went bad. And now I have two with broken bases but number 1 is not holding into position so I am changing all of them at 116K except for the two already done at 30K and 90K, with less mileage but they are going out as well.

JM, you don't have coil packs if you have a 5.4, you have coil-on-plug (COP). The older 4.6's have 2 coil packs and spark plug wires, each coil pack handles 4 cylinders.
