Got up at 3 am this morning. Had about a 3 hr drive to get to a friends place to pick up some things needed for the house. Got about 15 miles from the house and the truck started shaking with the check engine light flashing. Had this happen once before and it was a coil/spark plug problem. Turned around and back home by 4 am. When the parts house opens, I'll head that way, let them put the meter on it and find out which cylinder isn't firing. Buy the parts and fix it.
Now it will be Sat. at the earliest before I can get over to his place. Might do a little deer hunting.

Don't want to get going this morning here either. Too cold. Need to get going and head to deer stand, but even though it's heated, I'm in no hurry.

This is the type of morning I couldn't wait for. Temp in teens for deer. 73 now! I'll go for a nice 3 mile brisk walk, early lunch, nap, and hunt in the 30's this afternoon......

Change of plans........getting ready to go start the truck and hunt out my portable deer stand. It's 10 degrees and too darn cold for me to ride half a mile in a UTV, then wait until Mr. Heater warms up the shooting house. Anyway, haven't seen anything worth shooting, and yesterday afternoon I had 20 does feeding in the cornfield, and one little dink. He was sniffing on every doe in the field.

An OBD2 scanner will often tell you which cylinder isn't firing. It helped me out a time or two.

Will be an easy fix, but don't ya hate something like that, when you have plans or things to get done?
hope both the hunt and the repair has positive results Randy...
when ya get high miles on a vehicle, things like that start happening...

In know the feeling. The coils on my Corolla started failing at around 260,000 miles. Second one went out I replaced the other two too. Friggin POS 🙂

Good so far, got a couple of thing done here at work, got a couple more to do. Can’t go deer hunting until weekend after next. December is going to suck as far as hunting goes, family Christmas parties, graduation at Sooner University in Oklahoma. It’s gonna be tough not going.

Interesting, colder the better IME, at least where I hunt in ND, MN, MT, and WY. Cold forces the deer to feed longer and more often. Does on their feet and feeding means bucks on their feet and chasing. I had 2 Fords w/5.4's and lost at least 2 coil packs on each. Didn't ever have my truck shake and shudder, just a bit of a rough idle and CEL.

Does on their feet and feeding means bucks on their feet and chasing. They move good in cold weather here too, especially if you're near a good food source. Unfortunately, the local Mennonites shoot every buck they see, which means few reach maturity, resulting in very few trophy bucks. I'm not a meat hunter, if I was it would be great, as we're over run with does. The Mennonites are supposedly meat hunters, but they'll turn down a big fat doe for a scrawny little spike, just so they nail the antlers up on their barn for their friends to see. I saw a bunch again this morning, but nothing worth looking at twice.

When it first happened, I thought I was having a flat, got out and checked tires. When I started gaining speed, that's when the check engine light started flashing and you could really feel the shaking. Going uphill it's very noticeable, downhill not so much.

I have bad coil right now on my f250 v10. Maybe 2. FIIK
Drive it a heavy rain or go thru a creek crossing lose a goddamm coil.
Check engine light won't show everytime on my truck, annd the obd won't even show a pre-code.
Got a bud with some big hoop-a-joop Snap on computer thinger, it won't do it either. And that's even hooked up, driving around with live data.
Whenever I have a bad coil, I have to play Russian Coil Roulette with one new COPS and switch it out. PITA.
I can get a set of 10 new one (AC brand) for about $125 off if Amazon.
(blah blah blah, Bezos, Bloomberg, givin money to Bilderbergers and the Illuminati) some of conspiracy fuggers crack me up
