Took a corner too fast and felt my truck crap out on me
I was heading home from work last Tuesday on the 405 off ramp near Irvine and took a left turn at maybe 35 mph like I always do. Right when I straightened out, my 2015 F150 started bucking and the check engine light started flashing. I pulled into a gas station lot and the truck was idling rough like it had a bad misfire. Turns out my coil packs were shot on cylinders 3 and 5, probably from the heat and miles. I swapped all 8 coil packs and plugs over the weekend for about 320 bucks total and it runs smoother than ever now. Anyone else had a sudden misfire hit them after a hard corner like that?

My brother's 2012 Silverado did the exact same thing on a cloverleaf ramp near downtown LA, misfired so bad it sounded like a Subaru with a broken exhaust. I spent 280 on his truck with plugs and coils, and it's been solid for six months now. It's funny how a hard corner can shake loose something that's been borderline for a while. Makes me think about how life works the same way sometimes, you know? Like when you've been coasting along with a bad habit or a stale friendship, one sharp turn and suddenly everything falls apart. But you fix the root stuff and it runs better than before.
