I had the same thing happen on my F-150, I had gone to auto zone about a month before and bought new plugs and installed them and come to find out they had given me the wrong style plugs and one of them blew out. Took it to Salem County Collision and they repaired it with a heli-coil with the head still on the truck, cost about $500.00 to fix it but they also replaced the rest of the plug's and coils.
