F450 Valve spring broken

This is my work truck- Approx 2015 F450 small v8 . It had a broken valve spring fixed about a year ago, ysterday it seems another has broken. Is it now best to just replace all of them ? Seems to me it would be, boss not convinced. I deem the truck completely unreliable for the business at this point. Its only got 40 k on it. It doesnt get used a bunch, but when its gotta go, its gotta go , and now ! Yesterday we spent 3 hours loading it, started it up and BAM! rough running and engine light on. THen had to unload the whole truck into a very inconvenient trailer to deliver material. What say you ?

Probably the phasers.
Maybe synthetic oil.

Maybe Split Rims is a bot? They Posted the same irrelevant answer to my thread too last month...I'd replace all the valve springs if it were myself. Just for peace of mind. Maybe look for a revised part# when ordering. ​​​​​​
