Dan, you got a 10 year old truck with 170k miles on it and no problem. You havae been good so far. Its something to think about, but the majority of trucks dont have the problem. When you change plug, be careful, use the correct torque, clean the area before removal and the threads when appart, and yo should be o.k. the percentage of trucks with this problem is minimal.

All of them up to some time in '03 have 4 threads, L's included. Even the 8's can spit but it is less likely. Mine didn't spit until after 200K miles and 3 plug changes. I don't think it is worth replacing an engine because you are worried about it. If anything just replace the heads but it is a 50/50 chance that it will be a cheap $200 fix if a front plug blows or an expensive $500+ fix if a rear goes.
