DIY 6.2 Spark Plug Change

[CoronaRaptor]

Local dealer claims to be busy till 3rd week into January! I'm screwed. Cant drive my truck and dont trust anyone with it.

Well with the holidays and the fact most dealers are short staffed, that seems about right. If they are your go to shop, then book it and hope they get an opening sooner. Keep us posted.

Haven't seen mention of the little puck?

What’s this?

There's a very small puck that goes inline. I'm "assuming" in the boot and I think is some sort of resister. Possibly to reduce electrical interference. There's 8 in a wire set.

Pics? I never seen anything like that when I changed out my coils and wires. Is it this big?

Very small, looks like a small pill capsule in the photo. Referred to as a "puck"?

It's a resistor, I THINK it lives at the coil end of the plug wire...I know there's a thread or ten on here somewhere...

Found it, look up NAPA part #:

I'm still at a loss here? You're driving me insane, lol. It shows the lower part of the ignition coil boot with the spring, etc. SO when you order ignition coils it comes with everything.

The wire set I was looking at included the "pellet" \resistor with the wires and boots. I couldn't find any previous posts about it other than one mentioned that had corroded in place.

It was recommended that it should be changed along with the wires. Curious that those changing plugs and wires did not mention it.
