    So i was driving home, some dodge 2500 came rollin up slow next to me, then smashed it. ya KNOW i don't play that shat, so i rolled it up. his gov'ner kicked in and i rolled passed him... then it all went to hell. heard a pop. at first thought i blew this tire that has a bolt in it. nope. thought i blew my exhaust off my header (only 1 bolt on the passenger side). nope. under throttle it sounds super rough, like i sucked a valve into the head. get home, shut it down. started it up and it was even worse. start pullin plugs to see if they are all there (just did a tune-up). so i get to the 3rd back on passenger side and this is what i found:

    stem of coil is obliterated and the tab to secure it was cracked off. $45 @ Oreillys.

    the plug started to flake between the points. $6. and the truck will be down for a few days til i can get the coil. :facepalm:
