Hopefully it's not just a symptom of a bigger problem. I had a `13 F150 with the 5.0 V-8. It started running rough and would occasionally throw a CEL. I did everything I could to the point that I had to take it into the dealership for them to check it out.
I had 1 for sure misfire and an intermittent misfire on another cyl and was loosing compression in one cylinder. They wanted to replace the whole engine, and an independent shop said they could just do a valve job but is was still gonna be expensive. $11K at Ford for a new engine, $5K+ for a top half rebuild. I figured the truck was 6 years old and 125K miles so I traded it off.
Hopefully yours is truly just a bad coil pack
