The Excursion never got the 3 valve Triton engines.
As far I know, the V10s aren't known for spitting spark plugs like the 4.6 and 5.4 are.
2001 had issues with a Transmission diode but they were recalled and by now, most of them have probably already been repaired.

The 05 engine got the 3 valve compared to the 2 valve in the earlier years. I think another change were the spark plug threads, somewhere in 02. They added a few more as there were a few spitting out some of the plugs.
I think there was a diode change in 02 also, in the tranny, or was that the 7.3 tranny. Hmm?

Don't get them too tight or too loose, there is a fine line between the two because of the tapered seats with no gasket.

personal experience tells me the 5.4 v8 was the worst. my '98 blew one and i caught the second right before it went. 2 other friends also have blown plugs on there 5.4's. now i've had 3 V10s and know of 4 others that own them and have for a period of time. no plug spitting w/the V10's. now i know they all do it..but i have heard and seen way more V8's blowing them.
the excursion NEVER got the 3 valve motors. or coil front springs on the 4x4's. like the super dutys did in '05.

No more or less worse than the 5.4 or the 4.6.

Disconnect the injection and put your ear plugs in until to get to the proper place. The sound is only that; a sound.

They are OK unless you don't get them the right tightness.

I doubt it very much, you might as well go to headers.
