Welcome Visitor! Please take a few seconds and 
I suspect/hope/Pray its a coil after triple checking all my relays/fuses/wiring/etc.
Ignition coil failures are not super uncommon on fords I know, and I kinda suspect that may be what I experienced the other day...
My truck has a No-Start condition at the moment after Friday night (from my build thread):
"Cruised around on new tune for 15 min, no problems. Pulled from 20mph onto 355, had a pop from the exhaust on the shift to 3rd, pulled to 100 in 3rd, no problems. Did it from a standstill and it popped twice on the 2/3 shift and broke up. I let off, idle was loping doing 40mph, no smoke or fluid dumped. Pulled over immediately and stalled out.
Truck turns over smooth, but doesnt start. So I fear I chunked something internally or it's something easy like a dead ECU or pump... (I've killed one ECU already...)"
The truck has shifted with a bit of a 'pop' randomly in the past, and my truck has been especially bad at reliably shifting at the correct points (sometimes would shift at 5500, sometimes 5200, sometimes 5800).
I checked the ECU and all my fuses/relays and everything checks out. My pump primes and is running etc, I can smell a whiff of fuel after cranking it for a while so it seems like its getting fuel but not starting.
I have NOT pulled a sparkplug out and tried cranking it to see if there is a spark, but I have pulled off my coils and tested them both.
Primary resistance on both is 1.0, secondary is 13.6-13.7K
I see a brand new OEM coil is supposed to be .3-.9 on the primary, 11.5-17.5K on the secondary.
I've replaced coils in the past that passed spec before as well, but I'd rather not spend $120-130 in MSD coils unless I'm fairly confident the ones I have are dead, or need to be upgraded anyways....
is being 1.0 too 'high', or high enough to cause a no-start on the primary side? I'd read that a bad/failing coil could have caused my weird shifting habits as well.
The coils probably have nearly 200K miles on them to boot honestly....
