>> Dear Sir;

>> All of the Blaster series coils are legal in all 50 states to
>> distribute and install on all OBD II vehicles, including your Dakota.
It's
>> unlikely that the coil caused a problem with your vehicle's computer. It
>> may have been coincidence that both units failed at the same time. Since
>> the coil is OBD II legal, it will not void your factory warranty. If you

>> I bought a MSD Blaster Coil about 2-3 months ago, and I installed it on
my
>> 97 Dodge Dakota with the 318... About one week ago, my truck died, and I
>> took it to the dealer, and they said that the computer died (everything
>> worked, except the coil (even stock coil) and I had the stock coil hooked
>> up when it died) The technition some how was able to tell I had an MSD
>> coil on it, which was at my house, when I took it up there... so
>> everything was back to stock...
>>
>> He told me that the computer has an 8yr / 80,000 mile warranty, and If I
>> hook up the MSD Coil again, they will not cover the computer under
>> warranty...
>>
>> Is the correct that the coil would cause this, and be reason to void the
>> warranty on the computer?
>>
>> Also, right after I hooked the coil up, it Died on me two times, every
>> time it did this, I just plugged the stock coil back, got back in the
>> truck, and it started back up, so I switched back over to stock once
again
>> for about 4 weeks, which it died two more times, the last and final time
>> was with the stock coil on it, before I couldent get it started again.
>>
>>
>> If you could help me out with this, I would greatly appreciate it...
>> ( I enjoyed the gains of the coil, while it ran with it, but I'm afraid
to
>> put it back on)
>>
>> Thanks,
