It is a nightmare!
It is truly amazing the way Ford has handled that situation. I bought a 99 when they became available in mid 98. I lived that bad dream. Here it is over three years later and Ford still has done nothing more than a feeble attempt (change one injector) to fix the problem. While not all trucks had the problem, the ones that do are stuck with it. Think about it, three years after the problem surfaced, some trucks are still coming off the assembly line with the problem. Plus, with the next generation engine coming out soon, how hard will Ford work to resolve this.
I went to the link you provided and read some of the posts and they are the same as they were three years, just different names on the same old posts. Sort of like a second generation of victims.
Of course I used the only method known to fix that problem. I took that POSPSD to my local Dodge dealer, tossed them the keys and said I would take that shiny white Cummins sitting in the corner of the lot.

I work for KW and we are authorized Cummins and Cat. The new Cummuns ISBE will have from what I understand basicaly the same injector as the N14, and the new ISL ect series engines. The unit injector uses machanical timing from the camshaft and the injector is supplied by fuel through a rail system integrated in a passage in the heads. If you could see into the unit injector is uses fuel and check balls to increase the fuel pressure, the ECU then signals the injector as to how long to inject the fuel and how much. Cummins has not had many problems with this system, but it is quite simlar to the old pt system other than the eclectronic controls. I think the power will be higher (how high can you go without making them medium duty trucks?). Any way this is my two cents worth. I am exicted about the new Dodge, Cummins powerhouse. I think it is the best of both the truck world and the engine world. The description of the electronic injector uses plugers as well and is a bit more complicated than the statement I made erlier but it does not use oil pressure in one side of the injector as does the HUEI system. But I am guessing that the injectors will be relatively expensive. I think the N14 and IS series injectors are around $400. 00 each, about the same as the 3406E Cat. I've rambled long enoug. Thanks for a fine website and good members.
