Well, not to bring the dead back to life or anything, but I've found my solution, again. The problem came back around the beginning of May and I just decided to take the shotgun approach.
In a fit of frustration, I replaced all 6 coils about 40 or so days ago then spent 30 days at the scenic Joint Base Lewis McChord , after getting back and driving around I believe my problem is finally fixed for good. It runs like it used to when I first got it, where I can forget the truck is running at all (even with the mechanical cooling fan). I'll update this if the problem comes back, but I think it's really fixed this time, I just have that feeling that my truck is telling me she's happy again. :wootwoot:
I'll admit that replacing all 6 coils probably wasn't necessary but the result is worth the cost in my opinion.
On another note (hijacking my own thread a bit), when I pulled the old coils I found it impossible to remove all of the supersparkz without damaging them. They bend really really easily and like to get stuck in the rubber boot. After that experience, I can't say that I recommend them anymore, if one should get slightly bent it could cause a connectivity problem and everything that leads to. All in my opinion, of course, but my truck is running smooth as silk on the stock springs included with the new batch of coils.
If anybody wants a set of 6 used coils in whatever condition they're in, I'll send them to you for the cost of shipping, otherwise they get trashed in a week (4AUG12). The truck would run fine with a slight wobble and occasional misfire as described above, so I know at least one coil was causing problems, it's up to you to sort it out if you want to.
