This is a few and far between problem. The reports are so scattered through the models and years it is hard to say whaqt to look out for. My '99 (5/98 build) has 72k+ has been running great and I would buy another in a minute.
Check EBAY I just saw a set of heads on there for sale.

Why on earth would anyone replace a head when you don't have to...Even if you took the time to do all 8 or 10 you would still be thousands ahead of the game.
Am I missing something here??

Does anybody know the correct Torque spec. for the 99 V10
spark plugs?
I cranked them down pretty good with a 3/8 drive ratchet.
After reading all the blown spark plug threads maybe I should
put a torque wrench on them?
Sorry; If the spec has already been posted, did not do a search.

I checked these out and looks like the way to go,
they have a kit #5141 just for the Triton motors.

2nd V10 Sparkplug blowout
I too had my 99 V10 blow out the same sparkplug the second time. I have tried every way I know to get someone at Ford to answer me besides the twit at "customer service." to no avail. I have since sold my ford and bought a 03 Dodge Ram with the new Cummins diesel. Had never owned anything but fords till now, will never own another one.

Oh come on you cant let one thing give you a bad taste in your mouth. Im sure you will find something on that Dodge that will really **** you off one day and find out others with the same problem. No car manufacturer is perfect, some just hide it better with fewer customers (Dodge) ha ha. No for real though I will always love my Ford.
Even if I walked in on my truck doing something to my girlfriend I'd still love it!
