I have a '03 Ford F250 with 62k miles on it. We use it mainly for long distance trips and hauling the horses around.
I had my first coil pack (#1) go out the winter of '09. The next one just went out in Dec '10 (the #8 one). Now, I have not even put 500 miles on it since the last one was replaced. After taking a 8 hour trip, it started missing terribly again.

I cannot keep putting $200 in it everytime a coil pack goes out. Why is it doing this? Is it just a Ford thing? Surely there is something I can do?? HELP!!!!!!

 

Unfortunately it is common with the Fords. All you can do is search around and try to find a deal on them.

 

Are these the right ones...

Yes, Mr Shamrock.....Those look to be the part. Do you think since they are all going out so closely together, that if I replace them all....maybe I'll get a few years on it before having trouble again, or should I always carry some spares??? lol

 

I haven't had too many Ford trucks myself, but at those prices I think I would just replace them all and call it a day. Remember which ones are good and save them for spares if you want. Good luck!

 

shamrock is right just replace all at one time. You should be good for awhile after that.

and ebay is great for parts !!
