Therein lies the problem...I have no idea which ones(s) are bad...I can't get stuck 90 miles from home, so I'm going to let them run it on the scanner to figure it out...Might have them replace the plugs also to eliminate the potential blowout issues that these things seem to have. Then I have to deal with the rotting exhaust manifold bolts--That might have to wait for another day, or another MH...I'm getting fed up with this thing. The electrical connector legs break as soon as they are touched, had to ziptie the harness in the steering column (those broke due to the tilt-wheel) and under it due to researching multiple chassis electrical problems...Can't even look at them and they break. Never ran into that before.
Also will need ball joints next inspection (if there is one)...Not great for an E450 "Super Duty" with 50K and babied it's entire life...No grease fittings either.

There was also some issue with brake fluid leaking from the master cylinder on wiring and staring a fire with them.
Sounds more like Stupid Duty to me!
You could try to look at the coils in the dark, have someone rev it a few times. If they are breaking down you might see arcing.

It's spotless under the hood so brake fluid isn't an issue....
Might go look for arcs now..We'll see.

An option, but it's going to the dealer after work...Thanks.

I know on 5.4 V8 trucks 90% of the time when a coil pack fails it cylinder #5. Its due to its proximity to the exhaust system.

Number 4. Back one on passenger side. The heater hoses used to always leak on them. After the coils were fixed the spark plug fiasco started.

Yes this was the case with my wife Explorer 5.0 although had a bit different symptom, it ran out normal at highway speed, though It would run rough at idle speed as well as increase to over 1100 rpm's at idle and then suddenly drop to almost a stall, I change the MAF and fix that problem,
