OK, I know that it isn't a rockcrawler, but it is a 4x4. I have a 99 XLT that had one of the coil on plugs go out the other day. Is this a common thing? Also, is there a way to read the actual mileage incase the odometer was disconnected? I have been wondering if this might have happened. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Don't those have electronic speedometers? If they do you can't disconnect the odometer without disabling the speedo, right?

It is pretty common to replace those coils. And a PITA if I do say so myself.

Those speedometers don't read wrong. If it was dissconnected for any period of time the truck would run like shit. And you can't reset, or change the mileage.
If your thinking that the coil shouldn't have gone out, because of low mileage, or something, don't worry, its not a big deal.
Just be glad you didn't own a Vortec Chevy when all the injectors were recalled, and those damn trucks would just die all of a sudden, cause the injectors gave up....then you had to pull the intake to change the damn things!!!! I did a couple of those with less than 15K!!!:flipoff2:
If I owned one, I would be pissed:D

Thanks for all the help. I just was kinda pissed because it happened on my way to vegas while in Salt Lake. Nothing like being on the road for 12 hrs and then having it happen.
Later,
