Not sure about Canada but I would check eBay, rockauto, and amazon. Just keep a eye on the shipping cost.

Coils for our trucks, at least here in the US, are not to costly. Usually start around $15 or so each.

Crappy tire lists them online at $49.95. Canadapartsonline.com list them at $33.80
You might try phoning Auto Value if there's one near you.

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up at the dealer which cost $60. I thought they would cost over $100 that's why posted. I didn't think crappy tire sold them or I would have bought them.

You can find them at a lot of places, surprisingly. When I busted one accidentally while replacing my spark plugs, I managed to find one at Advance Auto. They were a few dollars higher than Rock Auto, but I needed it that weekend so I could get to work on Monday.

Methinks I'll pick up a spare (or 2) next time I'm at Pic-N-Pull.

To close this thread...

Turned out that the centre electrode was burnt off the spark plug which caused the coil malfunction.

The cheapest supplier was Benson at $32.

However my truck is throwing a poor ground error for the fuel pump (from time to time to this winter) which may have caused the centre electrode to burn off.

Did the coil actually fail, caused by the SP? Or was the plug the only problem?
