This couldn't happen to a nicer guy
Well, I finally have experienced the Triton V10 spark plug spit out in the PU in my signature below. Traveling up US101 yesterday near Coos Bay, OR and pulling a long grade, we heard a loud bang follo...

My dad has a 2000 Expy with the 5.4 (same engine minus 2 cyl). His spit one plug, don't remember which one, but none others since. It has over 200k miles.
I will also say the dealer is not always the greatest. My 07 Expy has the issue where the plugs bind and break in half. I did not want to deal with this so I had the dealer change the plugs to the tune of $519. A couple months later I got a ticking sound and gas smell. 3 of the 4 passenger plugs were hand tight, #8 was almost 2 full turns out causing the ticking and fuel smell. They forgot to torque them after installing them!
