As they say, YMMV.

I have a feeling that a lot of us end up with new coil packs, plugs, and wires while trying to find an easier solution to replacing the injectors - happened to me (3 Densos) I did notice she was running very well and felt spunkier. I also grabbed an igniter at the junkyard for a spare. Someone here said igniters rarely fail and I often see them still there on otherwise well-picked over yard runners.....

As I said, they made a really noticeable, positive difference. I would be surprised if you didn't notice a difference if you replaced yours. I had replaced the boots before and that was an improvement because those are a wear item as well.

I replaced the cats with some hilariously expensive Magnaflow carb ones and new sensors.... wow what a difference. The cats the were there were some craptastic cheapies. Even the pipes were too small.
Well that solved her shibox status. Check lights gone.
Wires and plugs were good in mine. Only 4-5k miles on them. OE plugs, after market wires.
So I thought who knew what difference that would make.... so what the hell, rolled in a new set of OE coils, wires and plugs. Dang..... ran even better..... so what the hell, let's do the igniter too......
It's actually not that slow anymore...lol. Should have done this a while ago. She used to be anemic and slow with ECT being almost mandatory. Not she gets up and scoots. Nothing like the twin turbo tundra, but it doesn't feel handicapped at least. Simply a joy to drive now.
Don't be scared to change some old parts. I couldn't have been more surprised in how different it drives now. Down shifts fasts, and super zippy around town now.

Right on, Romeo1. That sounds great!
Edit: I should add that when my igniter failed in March, after replacing it, the truck fired up instantly. I also noticed that when shutting it down, it turned off instantly as well. Before the failure and resulting replacement of the igniter, when turning off the truck, it wouldn't shut down so suddenly. I didn't really notice it that much until after replacing the igniter. And, of course, it definitely ran better as well. It wasn't until the coil pack replacement that a real performance gain was noticed.
Stuff wears out. These coil packs do not have an infinite lifespan.

I changed mine just due to preventative maintenance (also there was a crazy sale on them at the dealership) but didn't notice any difference...

This is my experience too. Previous owner and myself replaced coil packs trying to find intermittent missing. It always came back. I finally replaced the injectors and that fixed it for good.
I believe that the spark plug either fires and ignites the fuel-air mixture or it doesn't. No in-between. Almost all the burning of fuel occurs after it has been ignited and the spark has quit and the flame front has moved away from the spark plug. The spark is not continuously sparking during the power stroke, only at the first micro-instant. In fact the spark occurs before the piston reaches the top of its stroke. The power is produced during the down-stroke long after the spark has ceased.

What igniter is everyone using? New OEM looks to be $400 or so. I don't want to create a reliability issue with aftermarket ignition parts, but it looks like you can't buy it through Denso.

It's around $300 if you order from UAE. But it looks like OEM is the only option.

OEM are about $5 at the pick-n-pull yard. If you are an honest shopper.
Edit - holy crap that link says the MSRP is $721 and they offer the deal of $489? Igniters are not known to fail and if you want to introduce another to your system to test things, I would try a used one. I have an extra if you need it.

I bought this one: More Information for STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS LX780 - there are 2 versions on that page. I bought the Regular Inventory item with a 5 year warranty.

Yeah, I figured used would be the way to go if mine actually gave trouble. I'm sitting at about 280k. I probably could've kept running the original coils, but replacing them was a literally night and day difference. I figure a new igniter could take it another step further. Might just hold off for now.

Not had to warranty anything on my truck except for the factory rear Ring and Pinion that blew up leaving a parking lot...
