Oh sorry, coils I have to buy, radiator they're buying. Can I buy just one coil(4) or both sides? Any opinions there? Tech said one bad but both is up to me

 

If they are removing intake manifold to change the coil then you are paying the whole labor to swap both anyways, & yes you want to change both right now,,,
One extra new coil doesn't cost much more when compared to labor & gasket to remove intake,,

 

It's somewhat odd to have only one cylinder misfire and point to a coil. Both coils function on the "wasted spark" principle, whereby the coil fires two cylinders that are 360 degrees apart, both firing at the same time. Cylinder 8 is tied to cylinder 5. Firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. You can see where 8 and 5 are 360 apart. If the coil is bad, 5 should misfire as well. You may want to have him check the wire to number 8 before he pulls it completely apart.

 

Alright so it's been a week, truck still in the shop. You guys were right about coil, the number 8 wire on the new set was cut! So we swapped out and it runs and sounds amazing! However, long story short, a power steering suction hose and the radiator nipple are broke. Parts ordered, hopefully done by next Saturday. While in the shop I did swap to some new tires that fit the lift better. 275/65r18 goodrides, cheap I know but they are doable.

 

Here it is with the tires.

 

Hello, long time. Looks like the tech finally finished today! Power steering pump issues, did a reseal kit, replaced a hose. He drove it 10 miles and told me tc light came on and went off 3 times. Who knows?? But I should be able to take her home Monday! $3500 later!! That includes numerous fluid changes, tires, ball joints, head gasket job and etc things. Radiator and a couple small things and 12 of the 32 hours of the labor were paid by the dealer.
