Hey guys my pigtail for the coil pack has broken. The little red lock is destroyed I was wondering if there was a place out there that still sold these kits where you can rebuild them. I went to the local Jeep dealership parts counter and they looked at me like I was retarded.

The thing I am talking about is usually the plastic connector then the little metal prongs that go into them. All taken apart so you could build it yourself.

Whoever was working the parts counter at the dealer must have been a maroon. They sell connector repair kits that come with a connector and terminals with about 8" of wire attached. Usually also brass crimps and heat shrink too.

Yeah I got the part number from a friend who works in a body shop that I used to work in, I knew they had them since I used to rebuild them when they were damaged in a wreck.

It really pisses me off at the lack of help a dealership parts counter will put forth just because I am keeping my 15 year old truck on the road.

Lots of maroons at dealership parts counters. I myself could not charge someone $18 for say a 1/4-20 nut that could be purchased at Lowes for .07

I work in the service dept at a dealer and our labor rates are right in line with most aftermarket shops out there. The outrageous prices people sometimes encounter when going to the dealership is always caused by the price of parts.
