WARNING: 5.9L V-8 LDC-GAS ENGINES: DO NOT
REMOVE THE COIL MOUNTING BRACKET-TO-CYL-
INDER HEAD MOUNTING
MOUNTING BRACKET IS UNDER ACCESSORY
DRIVE BELT TENSION. IF THIS BRACKET IS TO BE
REMOVED FOR ANY REASON, ALL BELT TENSION
MUST FIRST BE RELIEVED. REFER TO THE BELT
SECTION OF GROUP 7, COOLING SYSTEM.
5.9L V-8 HDC-Gas Engine: The coil is mounted to
a bracket that is bolted to the air injection pump
(AIR pump) mounting bracket (Fig. 36).
(1) Disconnect primary coil connector from ignition
coil.
(2) Disconnect secondary cable from ignition coil.
(3) Remove ignition
bracket (two bolts).
8.0L V-10
Two separate coil packs containing a total of five
independent coils are attached to a common mount-
ing bracket located above the right engine valve
cover (Fig. 37). The front and rear coil packs can be
serviced separately.
(1) Depending on which coil is being removed, the
throttle body air intake tube or intake box may need
to be removed to gain access to coils.
(2) Remove secondary spark plug cables from coil
packs. Note position of cables before removal.
(3) Disconnect primary wiring harness connectors
at coil packs.
(4) Remove four (4) coil pack-to-coil mounting
bracket bolts for coil pack being serviced (Fig. 37).
(5) Remove coil(s) from mounting bracket.

INSTALLATION

3.7L V-6
(1) Using compressed air, blow out any dirt or con-
taminants from around top of spark plug.
(2) Check condition of coil o-ring and replace as
necessary. To aid in coil installation, apply silicone to
coil o-ring.
(3) Position ignition coil into cylinder head opening
and push onto spark plug. Do this while guiding coil
base over mounting stud.
(4) Install coil mounting stud nut. Refer to torque
specifications.
(5) Connect electrical connector to coil by snapping
into position.
(6) If necessary, install throttle body air tube.

5.7L V-8
(1) Using compressed air, blow out any dirt or con-
taminants from around top of spark plug.
(2) Before installing spark plug cables to either the
spark plugs or coils, or before installing a coil to a
spark plug, apply dielectric grease to inside of boots.
(3) Position ignition coil into cylinder head opening
and push onto spark plug. Twist coil into position.
(4) Install 2 coil mounting bolts. Refer to torque
specifications.
(5) Connect electrical connector to coil by snapping
into position.
(6) Install cable to coil. To prevent ignition cross-
fire, spark plug cables MUST be placed in cable tray
(routing loom) into their original position. Refer to
Spark Plug Cable Removal for a graphic.
(7) If necessary, install throttle body air tube.
5.9L V-8
The ignition coil is an epoxy filled type. If the coil
is replaced, it must be replaced with the same type.
(1) Install ignition coil to coil bracket. If nuts and
bolts are used to secure coil to coil bracket, tighten to
11 N·m (100 in. lbs.) torque. If coil mounting bracket
has been tapped for coil mounting bolts, tighten bolts
to 5 N·m (50 in. lbs.) torque.
(2) Connect all wiring to ignition coil.
8.0L V-10
(1) Position coil packs to mounting bracket (prima-
ry wiring connectors face downward).
(2) Install coil pack mounting bolts. Tighten bolts
to 10 N·m (90 in. lbs.) torque.
(3) Install coil pack-to-engine mounting bracket (if
necessary).
(4) Connect primary wiring connectors to coil
packs (four wire connector to front coil pack and
three wire connector to rear coil pack).
(5) Connect secondary spark plug cables to coil
packs. Refer to (Fig. 38) for correct cable order.
