Default Missfiring at 68,000 miles.

I purchased my truck used in 5/2016. Its at about 68,000 miles and its "shuddering" Studdering" . I took it into dealer and they diagnosed it with #6 plug missing. Found that the porcelain on the plug was crack. They replaced the plug and the coil pack on just that one and a week later its doing it again. I am going to change #4 & #5 to see if that stops the problem. Does anyone recommend having them all done. And also adding the deflection shield to prevent it from continuing to happen. Please any advise is helpful. I am a little worried its going to cost lots more $ if its something else. Thankyou..

Have them swap the plugs and the coils, especially if they are paying for it.

Drill the hole in your intercooler and remove the stupid deflector shield from the front of it while you're there.

The weep hole helps me sleep better at night that is for sure. Drilled and checked when I got home and sure enough looked like coffee with creamer came out.

Why remove the deflector shield?

The shield is installed as a bandaid fix by ford to keep the air hotter thus not allowing the air or condense. With the weep hole drilled you dont have to worry about that as the condensation weeps out the hole. Removing the deflector allows the intercooler to do as it was designed and cool the air properly.
