I don’t see a resistance value for the coils. Only how to check for resistance between the coil and ECU and body ground.

 

Yea I didn't see it on the AllData page for my truck, they vary some at the plug and I can't get continuity between plug ground and spark plug end

 

I can post something when I get home.

 

Sad

 

It’s taking us months to get a wiring harness for my work truck

 

Spoke with All pro exhaust in Lowell. Said to bring it in for a look. Mentioned just what you said . Cutting of the flanges on intermediate and Y pipes and making into a one piece job

 

This may help.

 

Thanks! I have codes p0301 and p0303 along with p0300 for a crank no start, MAF, camshaft position, crank position, and throttle position at throttle body all resistance check good. Don't have a fuel pressure tester yet but the fuel pump does turn on and off manually with the scan tool

 

P0300 is for a random/multiple misfire.

 

Yes, which is because of the 301 and 303

 

Swap the coils around and see if the code follows.

 

I'll give it a try if it's not too cold after work. Truck is dead in the yard

 

Mark each coil with a grease marker or paint pen before you remove them so you know which is which.

 

Yea they're all marked right now, sitting on my desk so I could check resistance

 

This box truck had LCD screens on each side, and was insanely bright. Not sure how this is legal.

 

Could be like the MAC truck driver I followed on my way home last night. He did not realize his lights were off. Maybe this guy did not realize his sign lights were on? But that is annoying. I hate those bright signs that are in front of businesses. They should have an automatic dimming for night time.

 

I don't see how he couldn't realize it. The sides were lighting up everything green on the highway.

 

Raw materials (round, bar stock, etc) has gotten a lot better. But it's still shenanigans, and expensive.

The issue with a lot of these off road shops is they had an abundance of supply chain, and a normal lead time, and they were managed by a small group/individual who just liked the game and had fun with it. Their customer service skills sucked. A lot of the ones that have closed up shop were after a slew of bad reviews, not because of lead time, but because of horrible CS interactions stemming from that.

Tell me 6 month lead time for sliders, whatever. That's fine. Hell, in 4 months time say "Hey, Rob, I'm sorry, we had an issue with a welder/supplier/whatever, the lead time is going to go up, can I throw in a bottle opener for your troubles?" "Yeah cool beans, no big deal"

instead - 6 months rolls around, crickets. 7 months, crickets, 8 months, crickets, 9 months, "Oh yeah we need another 3 months, nothing for your troubles, go away", sometimes rude about it. QA issues? "Your fault, should have checked it and rejected it at delivery if there was an issue". I won't name names, but that QA one is, I think, a big reason why one specific shop closed, and their CS was garbage too, but you can't make bad parts AND write off bad CS.

 

i feel like such an old fart. All i do is drive around at night complaining about peoples headlights. You have the led bulb switchers with scattered light, you have people who apparently dont know you should shut off high beams, and the worst of all are all of the new style led headlights that are oem. I feel like they are borderline legal, whatever that is. Whatever the standard is needs to be revisited. The factory led's where the cars behind you and every little bump causes a change in color/brightness, probably because they are hyper focused. Its like a cop is behind you. Im just driving around with bright spots in my vision.

End rant

 

I can definitely agree with that. I will say when Eddy owned SOS he would tell me about a lot of people that don't look at or understand lead times. It's like Amazon has ruined people with ship times. If it was an in stock item at the time people would like expect it to be there in a week. Freight LTL shipping from SC to western MA took a week and a half alone. People would get pissed about it or cancel orders. I will say he wasn't the best about getting back to people always but he did try to make it right
