ml> you don't do anything to coil packs until they die... then it is just a

 MH> I plan on running a scan on the truck soon to see if there are any

good idea...

 MH> If I wanted to do a quick fix, I could change all the plugs there I
 MH> can get to easy (all but 2 of them) and see if that helps.  

 MH> I have never changed plugs before in this setup.  I assume the
 MH> plugs are under the coil packs.  

that i don't know... i'm used to the coil packs being all mounted together
on a bracket... the factory ones are numbered for which cylinder with large
white numerals... mine were one pack for an odd and an even cylinder... so
i had to ensure that i marked my replacement properly since they are
unmarked...

 MH> Hopefully the scan will show something.  

one can only try and see what happens ;)
