    Went snowwheeling yesturday. Killed the spark going to one cylinder by accident. S#it happens, but now when the truck goes into over drive it shakes like a frickin belly dancer. :mwah1: < model. Could that still be just the spark or did i screw more than i think up?

    could be a coil pack. unplug each one of them one at a time and see which one doesnt make the truck run worse and that will be the bad cop. then replace it. cost 40 bucks.

    deeper than thinking snow drift. i hope that its only one. I think i killed it by letting snow get up under the hood and then melt while I slept for 6 hours.

    Alright well at least i aint the only one. Ive killed a coil before but DANG did it shake this time. probably partly cause the rims were compleatly filled with snow. I was so happy the it clawed its way out. the top of the drift had to be about headlight hight. Almost jumped the truck.
