timesert size?

Good morning,
I've looked at a bunch of the blown spark plug posts in here - some really good stuff! I'm planning on/hoping to repair mine this weekend and need to order the parts. What I can't seem to get an answer on - perhaps i'm overthinking it - is what size of timeserts to order?
I'm seeing everything from M10-M16....
I have the V10 6.8L mod in a 2000 F250 super duty.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks!
Wayne.

Give Timesert a call - 800 423-4070.
I've talked to them twice and they were very helpful both times.
