2017 Expedition EcoBoost coil packs

[Captain Kirk]

Are there any aftermarket coil packs available for our Expeditions? MSD doesn't carry them or Accel?

Does anything cross over like the F-150 Coil packs?

Thanks!

With more research the 2016 F150 3.5 Eco boost has the exact same part number as the 2017 Expedition. So I am ordering the MSD coil pack for the F150 to use on my Expedition. I will see how that works.

Why aren’t you using the Motorcraft part?

I have read that even the new ones are prone to failure just like the ones on my 2017. I would like my coil packs to last longer than 2 years.

your 2017 has bad coils already? How many miles?

More than 60,000 miles? I’m not sure, but I think the coil packs are covered under the power train warranty.

I have a 2015 Expedition Limited 4x4, purchased new.

Because aftermarket are cheaper and superior.
Let us know how you like them. I am planning on going with Accel.

Grantelli makes a set too I believe.

I'm at 91k miles. I am in sales and I drive the wheels off my vehicle. I will let you guys know what I think when i'm done. What plugs do you recommend? Thanks!

Motorcraft or Autolite (they make the Motorcraft)

What do you sell? Something large that requires the Expedition or just like driving the big vehicle?

I don't know about the 4th gens, but all the 1st thru 3rd gens don't burn out coils unless they get wet. Either by coolant dripping on them, or pressure washing. If your clean happy, start wrapping the coils before you clean. And if you've got a coolant leak, fix it now. Doesn't matter what coil brand you buy, wet is wet. Electricity and water don't get along. Don't believe it, try bringing a Hair dryer into your bubble bath, and see what happens. Be sure your life insurance is paid up first!

? Two different engines.

I agree,
The coil packs on these are notorious for dying young. I’ve gone through my share in my 126,000 miles on my 2015.

Are they burning out without getting wet? If so Ford dropped the ball, Again. Let me guess, the Oem coils are made in China!

Well I installed the MSD coils and the vehicle does run better. I installed new plugs (with anti seize). It seems to have a little more pull at higher RPM. I'm happy.

Where did you get them from?

 

[plumcolr]

My '06 went thru OEM coil packs like it was on a snack break. And no, they never got wet.
I put in accel's, bought a set of 8 for half the price of the OEM's and never had a problem in over 50k miles.

 

[Captain Kirk]

I ordered the coils from the MSD website. I used the 2016 F-150 to match up the coils to the engine.

I think he sells caskets ....

 

[Captain Kirk]

I sell steel and other products. It's helpful to have the larger vehicle.
