Anyone have these?

http://www.summitracing.com/search/B...l&autoview=SKU

Also, what's the latest on good cheap COPs. I've been reading that people were using the.. GAMMAs I think they're called, from global, but didn't see them on ebay.

My truck has been running pretty good, but I'm starting to feel like my cops are getting weak. I was getting pretty crappy gas mileage for a few months, and after trying some other things, I decided to take off my cops and grease them, which after I gained about 3 mpgs and had my power back. Now, I'm starting to notice mpg and power loss again, so I think i'm going to pick up some granitelli connectors, get them in there and see how it does before I buy cops. But i'm doing some reseach on cops for when it comes to that.

Look closely at the image...those are DG-508 cops, you need DG-511. Look at the angle of the boot and the connector. If you have a 5.4 3v, these are the wrong ones. GMS cop's do not have a very good reputation through the forum. Save your pennies and go with the Motorcraft COP's from Rockauto. They were around $45 ea.

Yea I understand that the image shows the 508s, but according to summit, they will fit my application and are the 511s. But regardless, now that I know they have a bad rep, I will probably not consider them.

Thanks for the input! And yes, I have the 5.4 3v

I agree, even GMC will say that they will fit, and will, with a lot of bending of the connector..I know this from experience. NOT worth the money or effort IMHO. 'GLC' above has spotted a good deal there on ebay (above)

That is a good find, but from what I've been reading, I think I will try my luck with these, if need be after connectors.
