Correct part number for 05 coil

[JNT1]

Does anyone know the difference between the Motorcraft DG508 and the DG511? Both number are listed as fitting a 2005 5.4 Expedition.

The sparkplug boot and the position of the hold down point. The 511 is at the 6 O'Clock position and the 508 is over at the 10 O'Clock or so. Your Expy should take the 508.

It turns out the correct coil for my truck is the DG-511.

rockauto.com only shows the DG508 as fitting a 2005. I guess they could be wrong.
Have you visually confirmed it?

Yeah I saw it listed that way on Rockauto and they are usually right on part numbers. Amazon had both 508 and 511 listed as fitting my truck. I ordered the 508 from amazon and it does not match what is on the truck now.
