Is he buying cheap replacement coils?
The COP Triton engines (Coil on plug) I noticed the coils go bad on the cylinders first that hold water around them. On my old V10 the first coils to go where the ones that had poor gaskets and water was always around the coil. After that any cheap Ebay coils would barely last a year (10 new coils for under $200!!! too good to be true!! It was).
If I remember correctly, I used more grease on the seals (to keep the water out), use OEM coils and that seemed to solve it.
Lucky for me I traded that truck straight across (pinks!) for a 7.3 Excursion
