The problem I come across usually when I'm looking to buy COP's is being able to tell the crooked ones from the good ones. Because if you ask a good COP if he's crooked and if he can be bought will sometimes land you in jail!

98.6% of Cops are crooked..... But for the most part, the coil on plugs you buy will be good/ok....Hope that helps.

Thanks for the guidence.

I order these today and with 2 day shipping it was only $128. Will replace in the next couple of days. Hopefully this will fix the high speed power loss and shuddering.

Why, who referred those ? Personally, I would go with a seller this forum is familiar with.

Well good luck all the same. Let us know what you get and if they work. Thanks.

Please let us know how abcmarts treats you and how well the cops work. It never hurts to have good alternate vendors. Another one I'm curious about is alanisdeals.

However, I would not buy from any vendor that does not offer a lifetime warranty.

My COP's came the other day, as promised 2 day air. I replaced them and checked my plugs along the way and found a bad one. With all good plugs and all new COP's truck runs GREAT!!

Good Ebay-er.. Would work with them again.

If you want to spend another 100 bucks, you can upgrade coil connectors. Granitelli or Weapon X has those. Their nice, no fricken springs.
Thanks for the recommendation man. I've got a broken coil connector and ran across these:

When you say "no springs" are you talking about the spring in the coil boot?

OK, what if you don't or can't use eBay?
Do any of these sellers sell via a website or by phone?

Long story but I will never use eBay or PayPal again.

I plan to order from abcmarts or global automotive on eBay. Both have good prices and excellent feedback ratings. Both offer Lifetime Warranty on the parts. I looked at alainisdeals, but the warranty is only a year. Don't know if I want to chance that (Thanks glc for pointing warranty out). Glad to see mccart125 had no problems with abcmarts.

How often do you guys change these? I'm changing the plugs (or trying to) in my 06 5.4 now and I was just thinking about putting the same ones back on since I haven't had any issues with them.
