Buy a FoMoCo unit from the dealer in the blue & white box. Don't just buy a Motorcraft unit. A lot of the Motorcraft stuff is made in China now and I've had issues with the parts on quite a few occasions.

For example, bought 2 Motorcraft O2 sensors for my Mustang. They had Made In China printed right on the front of the bags. I installed them and had driveability issues. Bought 2 new Bosch units and all was well.

True, but if you look enough you can sometimes find NOS pieces that someone has in a dusty box sitting on a shelf.

Also, I meant to suggest pulling a few sensors from trucks at the junk yard. Clean them, swap them in and see if the problem persists.
