Had to post this funny, My old 2000 ram 360 snow plow truck had been having some issues starting when the weather was damp or wet. I figured its the coil or distributor cap.
Last time it would not fire I used my heat gun and warmed up the coil and distributor and it fired right up.
So I figured I would stick a cap and rotor on it since that was the cheaper option as far as tossing parts at it. If any of you have had this year of truck you know the distributor is kinda hid under the cowl and a pain to get to. So up on the engine I go.
Started pulling wires and seen the coil wire seemed to set low on the cap. Pulled it up and the cap tower came up with it right out of the cap.
It had rotted away and had carbon streaks on top of the cap, terminal and tower was stuck into the wire boot. LMAO.
That thing was still running like that , just a little air and heat when it was wet and that sucker would fire right up and not miss fire.
New cap and rotor on now problem fixed, You got to love Ma mopar and her ignition set up.
