It's a reasonably common problem on the V10. I think it stems for the fact that Ford omitted the inner splash guard and now all the road crud gets on the engine...namely the exhaust. I can't say they omitted it as it never came on gassers. It was on early PSD equipped trucks but ti went by the wayside due to cost cutting.
You can order up some of the guards. Just do a search over at ford-trucks.com in the V10 forum. I've posted the part number there a few times.
There you'll also find out that $2100 is insane. You could probably replace the studs yourself.
