global COPS

i need to change mine and the ABC in town said about 580 bucks for motorcraft i said never mind ill pass on that, then someone told me about the global COPS that were really good for about 100 bucks, well i think i read a "beware global COP" thread on here once,

so are the global cops worth a crap for 100 bucks and i read to order them for the 6.8 v10 so i can have 2 spare ones, is that true will that work the same

What you read was fom me. I ordered 8 and only 7 were good from the box. Trying to get the replacement from them is wishful thinking at best. There are other's on here who never recieved their warranty COP's when one went bad.
There are others who have run all 8 in their truck with no problem's.
In the future, I will buy mine from Uneeksupply on Ebay, because I do not like a seller who can't keep his word about warranty issues. Good luck recieving answers to your emails or getting them to answer their phone which they post on their Ebay site.
Uneeksupply emailed me back within a couple of hours after I emailed them.
That is good customer service. Personal Opinion Only, others on this site will buy from Global only.

Moto Blue coils were short lived.

They did have the best connector set on the market though. Can't get them anymore.

RPM Outlet stopped selling M-Blue coils and now sell these -

There not bad , just pricey.

I like them. Cept that one that was bad out of the box. Couldnt get rpm to give me a new one but in all honesty I really didnt try as hard as I probably should have. They should make it easy..

Yea RPM outlet has the worst customer service from what I've read. That's all over the net. I haven't purchased anything from them personally.

Good laugh to start my day !
Amazing how good our memory is when we get bit in the butt. Yet we can't remember what we had for dinner last night.

your killing me


The other day when I was putting in my starter, by brother inlaw was a hurler monster for 3 hrs w/103 temp. He still isn't right, guessing he has the Flu for sure. Tha's a big reason I did his wife's oil change after the starter went in. I felt bad for him.

I am one of the fortunate that purchased Global COPs and all 8 functioned properly. I live in Canada and the return costs would most likely exceed the purchase price of a new set so If one goes bad in the future I may just order a new set and have some spares.

I'll be doing the same. Except I do not want to wait for a failure. Made in China gives me some concern. Although there are a few people on here who state they have had their Global's in for a few years. That makes me feel a li'l bit more comfortable.
Someone just had success with Uneeksupply on Ebay so I will place an order with them soon.
Spares are always a good thing. I have a friend who owns a garage and he wants a set to keep on hand for customers with COP failures or complete tune-ups. At least we can cut our shipping cost down by ordering multiple sets.

I just order a set from Uneeksupply off of Ebay. They were $85 with shipping. Funny because most of their listings for the plugs were for $80 buy it now but I found one of their listings for $75, go figure. So I spent all day on new years cleaning the throttle body, IAC, MAF, injectors and putting in new motorcraft plugs and the coils. The thing runs as good as new and all 8 coils were good. Note, having the throttle body off saved so much time and made it so easy to the change the plugs. No obstructions at all after I tied back the coolant hoses on the passenger side. I will be keeping the remaining 7 good motorcraft coils in case of failures in the future. Note to everyone, I don't recommend ever washing the engine with hoses or sprayers. I did it twice in the past and had coils go bad each time i did it. That was before I was smart enough to know more about how these engines worked and not getting these coils wet.

Nice job, congrats ! I'm glad everything went together for you. Looking forward to pulling my TB & IAC and cleaning them.
