my bfs mom has an 04 hemi ram, they are comin back from tenns were it was snowing, she is gettin 2 trouble codes p2308 and p2317 and we looked it up it is the 3rd and 6th secondary ignition coil failure, 67k on the truck and the 6th coil is brand new was replaced in january after they came back from ga, and the volt is reading above 14.0 volts on the gluster, been that way the entire trip, up and back, so all u hemi ram guys got any suggests for him

his username is turbot-bird

 

Ya, the volt guage was about 3/4 the way up. It seems to drop coils every time we get in freezing temps. Anyone know what might be going on?

 

Not sure...all I can say is that the hemi coils do work a lot harder then the average coil-over-plug ignition. Not only do they fire two plugs but they fire every crank revolution instead of the normal every two revolutions. The working harder combined with the cold temps could be shortening their life.

 

But Im sure some of you guys drive in the snow..... Do you change coils every time?

 

You could always put these bad boys on http://www.msdignition.com/new_products/82438.html

Have you guys checked the wiring harnesses going to the coils?

 

ya, everything is still pluged in with good connection.

 

I would try just swapping that coil out with another and see what happens and visually inspect the connection to the coil real good.

 

one of the ones that is showing bad #6 is a brand new coil as of january
