EUREKA Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 I was cleaning the contacts of my coil as part of preventive maintenance and noticed it appears to be original. In terms of reliability, would it be best to replace the coil with a new one, or stick with 'ol trusty?
jdog Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 Stick with the old one if you're not having issues with it
eaglescout526 Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 If it ain’t broke don't fix it. I’ve been learning that the original stuff rarely seems to fail(knock on wood). Id trust those Renix stamped coils.
EUREKA Posted January 15, 2022 Author Posted January 15, 2022 I suspected you guys might say that. Thank you.

Btw, I'm well on my way to completing all of your renix tips. Thank you for all of your contributions to the community! What about the factory 5 terminal relays, would replacing them with new Bosch relays improve reliability? I'm sure the contacts inside the original relays must have built some carbon on the contacts of the springs are tired by now.

I see the Mopar ones are $21.66 new vs Bosch at $8.69. Do you think Mopar are better? I believe Cruiser said somewhere that Bosch were the best replacement relays. I know I'm being a bit tedious replacing parts that are not bad, and not part of regualr maintenance.
eaglescout526 Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Damn Mopar ones are a fortune!! I thought they were cheaper but then again I always snagged them from the bad fuse/relay centers which is why I have a bunch.

EUREKA Posted January 24, 2022 Author Posted January 24, 2022 Installed the new Portuguese made German relays today.
