Accel Coil problem on 5.9L

I've had an Accel coil on my Ram 5.9L for 3 years with no apparent problem.
Just bumped the wire harness and the truck shut off. On my 1997 Ram, the female pins in the plug are larger than the male pins on the Accel Coil. The factory coil connector pins are a snug fit, the Accel are very loose. Had to remove pins from plug and compress them enough to get a snug fit on the Accel connector pins. If your having an problem with Accel coils, check the
pins, at least for my 1997 truck they weren't made the right size for a reliable contact with the factory plug. I'm new to forum, so if this has already been talked about, sorry.

To make the Accel coil fit on the 5.9 you need the adapter harness

(If you live close to an Autozone just buy it from there, you pay no shipping and they will receive it in 1 or 2 days....plus you can easily return it if it doesn't work out)
Without this harness the wires will be loose.
