2010 5.4 misfire and shaking.
I was driving about 45 mph yesterday and all of the sudden the truck started misfiring and shaking really bad. The engine light was also blinking. I limped home about 6 miles away. After a couple of hours I drove it 2 miles away to O'Reilly Auto Parts to have the codes read. It was still misfiring and shaking. I was told there was only 1 code (misfire cylinder 5). I replaced the coil pack on cylinder 5. No change. I drove the truck back home. With the hood open I heard something that sounded like a click (something related to a vacuum release) about 5 to 10 seconds after I turned the truck off. I don't recall hearing this noise before. This morning I had it towed to a Ford dealer. They only had one mechanic working today and didn't get to do much to it. They did call and tell me he did not think it was plug, coil pack or fuel injector. He said the mechanic thinks he hears something internal to the engine that doesn't sound right. They plan to do a compression test on Monday. I bought the truck new. It has 116000 miles and has always had oil changes at the Ford dealership. I replaced the plugs at 95000 with original Motorcraft plugs. I'm hoping this is not something that requires a new engine. What are the possibilities and associated costs?

I have a 2006 5.4 with 200k mi and I definitely want to keep it running as long as possible
