As already indicated, replacing all COPs an expensive proposition. Best price I have seen for 10 is in the neighborhood of $250. This is for Denso, which others here have said is the manufacturer of the OEM units. This was an ebay "Buy it Now" price.
Before going that route, test the coils, with an ignition/spark tester. Cost about $14 at Auto Zone

I bought a 10 pack of "oe style" ac Delco's for 150$. I'm just gonna replace them all to eliminate it being a coil pack that's causing the problem. I have more money than time latley so this is an easier route.

Be prepared to replace the Delco's. They do not hold up well or for that long, therefore the reflection in price. Get the Denso brand as stated by D. Yaros.

As a tried and true GM person I was a big believer in AC Delco parts. I say was, as that came to an abrupt halt when the last set of spark plug wires I purchased for one of my vintage rides read "Hecho en Mexico!"
Have fun changing the COP on Cyl. #5! As long as you are changing all the COPS, you might as well change all the plugs. I mean you are already in there, and there is no sense in having to take each COP out a second time when doing the plugs.

The plugs were changed maybe 400 miles ago. and the COPs are easy to replace on the v10 in the truck in my opinion took me maybe 20 minutes.
Anywho - replaced them and went for a drive 100% better. Haven't hooked the boat up yet , But it accelerates like it should and the tranny isnt jumping around . Now i gotta replace my brake booster , it crapped out on me on thursday .

"Easy" is a relative term, I guess. Getting to anything dealing with the #5 cylinder on my '02 F250 requires one to be a bit of a contortionist, IMHO.
Glad to learn all appears fine now with the new COPs. Hope the Delco's hold up, as their price was right.

Having longer arms and being taller help alot. I'm 6'9'' so it makes it easy to reach back there and swap it out.

You have a foot on me, and I can see where that would make a big difference.
