I was also looking at this same set yesterday.IMO yeah you could replace just one but to me thats like replacing one plug wait till it starst missing then figure out which one then keep replacing as you go or start fresh with a new set and be done.

You can move the coil and see if the code follows the coil then the coil is bad. I forgot to mention this earlier you said you got new plugs not sure what brand but if there not MOTORCRAFT plugs you should probably take them back and get the Motorcraft unless you want to change them again apparently the the AUTOLITE's also work but I have no experience with them but the motorcraft's are the same price and we know they work.

Yes, I got motorcraft. I just have to look up what the gap is supposed to be.
This truck has 114,000 on it, and i dont think the previous owner ever changed the plugs or cops. Even then, you dont recommend changing the cops?

The gap should be .52-.54, some people run the gap a little bigger, I dont know why I use .54 and havn'e had a problem yet, just remember when you pull of the COP's use a blow gun and blow all the crap out of the cylinder holes before you remove the plugs, and use never sieze on the new ones, you will never have a problem again. If you drop a plug throw it away, it's not worth taking the chance.

You can test or you can guess. The choice is yours.
