Ford will do nothing to compensate you for the problem. Your best bet it to invest in timesert fix. It is a tough call, it not just the V10 with plug issues. All of the modular engines have had issues. The 4.6L, 5.4L, & the 6.8L. The most you can do is make sure all the plugs are torqued to the proper specs. It seems the 99-early 02's are the ones with the most problems. If I hade 3 plugs blow I would be driving something else. I don't know how you use your truck, but mine goes non-stop to the tune of 20K miles per year. I would hate the truck forever if I had that many plug problems.
Good Luck

http://fulltorque.com/ heres the other company that makes the good kits sounds like some one did not use the proper way of changing plugs .
imm its best to upgrade all at one time to the newer threads and be over with it forever
