Be interesting to see what your dealer quotes you for the parts. My dealer (canada) wanted $2300 for the parts plus tax, I paid just under $1000 canadian delivered to my house, such a rip off for the exact same parts, lol.

Thats crazy. So far, all the parts are coming up to about $900. Not cheap but definitely cheaper than dealership.

Lots of great info in this thread I’ll have to read it again and summarize for myself when I get to this job LOL

What about replacing the boots?

Are the Denso wires and boots good?

Delco? Yes, the new ignition coils come with the boots for the upper plugs on them. The Delco spark plug wires come complete with boots for the lower plugs and the factory clips attached for the valve covers.

Ahhh ya gotcha, I see it now. Helps when you see a parts blow diagram.

I was referring to Denso wires not Delco. They’re the sameish price but the Denso’s are marked as premium at Rockauto
