BOSCH PLUGS DON'T WORK!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me start by saying thanks for the help. I want to explain my horrible week,maybe the postmaster/moderator can make a sticky or tech page out of it,or maybe I didn't look hard enough for the page.
I did a tune-up and installed a flowmaster-plugs,springs and boots. After tune-up I kept hearing a misfire. I e the went crazy from taking temp of each cylinder at the exhaust manifold with an infared heat gun to buying coil packs,posting thread after thread. Finally I grabbed a 7mm socket and ratchet and got on the highway and started at cylinder 1 with a new coil pack and stopped every exit to switch to the next cylinder. NOTHING. I wanted to drive the ****ING truck off a bridge. I refused to take it to the dealer so they can hook there stupid computer up to tell me whats wrong with my engine and charge me 130.00. Finally I got to thinking it was the plugs and posted a thread on here and it was immediatly followed by "thats your problem". I had no problems with bosch before this I only boguht them because they were a little cheaper. But i can tell you this today I brought them back and got motorcraft and what A difference my truck runs perfect. BOSCH plugs do not work with the v10 engine,anyone on the fence about the argument of they work or they don't will be sorry. I always thought a plug was a plug. boy was I wrong. those plugs cost me 100.00 in coil packs and countless hours of running around in circles.

Hey guys, thanks again for the help,they were Bosch platinum plus from autozone. The flowmaster sounds great not to loud but not to quiet, very happy. Again I don't like to knock a certain brand and I never had a problem with Bosch before, but you can search my posts the past week and see I tried everything. The plugs were absolutely the culprit I can't explain why, all I can say is *** soon as I installed motorcraft trukck runs perfect.
