LOL, I said I bought the parts from an "online vendor", I didn't even realize, it was directly from this site. Heh, I was like, hey didn't I just "like" that company on FB? Sure enough...
It was interesting that the coils started to really act up right after we moved the dryer a bit within the room and messed with it's gas line. We really jumped to the conclusion that we did our math incorrectly about the gas line capacities. Now that I think about it, there have definitely been occasions in the last couple/few months where I've had to re-run a load because it wasn't dry enough. I'm sure it was just signs of the coils beginning to fail.
Anyway, tonight will be the final true test.. we'll be sitting by the new fireplace and doing laundry simultaneously, although, I did test it last night with both running at once without issue, I didn't run any full loads or full cycles, just a good 20 minute test with multiple lights.
I'm pretty sure I saved at least $100 on this fix, and that makes me very happy!

i'm having this same problem tracking(ignitor lights up on and off, puffs out a tiny flame and goes out).... i had a question about the cycling thermostat. it actually has 2 sets of prongs, i get 0 ohms across the two outer ones, and 7k across the inners. either inner to outer is open. i'm not sure exactly which set is supposed to go together.
also, one of my coils was just outside that range (the 2 coil was +100, instead of the +50 allowable)
thanks, this thread has been very useful...
btw, i'd have to replace the whole gas valve coil assy, mine is a MGDC200XW2 and it looks integral, with no coil only replacement part i can find.... all the other parts look basically the same.
* another update, i don't know if this just means its infrequent, but i had the dryer stripped down, barrel and belt out, top propped up with the door switch fooled and the fire lit up fine (i only ran it briefly because it has no suction to draw the heat that way) put it back together and no worky.
