coltboostin Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Dodge was Sold. And pricing. I can't touch a Cummins for this, especially a 2000+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bruh Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 really can't go wrong with a v10. other than shitty gas mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 We had several of the ford v10 vans and ran the ever loving piss out of them. We exceeded what they were rated for daily and they ran forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC66Bronco Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 From what I have read. they are the same block as the V8 with 2 extra pistons and a diff fan shroud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckin Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I had a 08 3V V10 and would put it up against any Motor out there, tons of Pwr/Tq. Smooth and quiet. It only got around 12 mpg but I didn't buy it for mpg. It was a beast of a truck and wouldn't hesitate buying another. My In Law had an 00 Excursion with a V10 and it was the same way, they really are great Motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Watch out for the exhaust manifolds on those. Other than the piss poor fuel economy, they'll run for an eternity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW,... this is a must: http://www.troyerperformance.com/cgi-bin/ppistore.pl?user_action=detail&catalogno=Stage1-SDV10 I don't buy that one bit......thats a ton of pwr from a a tuner, exhaust and CAI. Go on any V10 forum and no one sees that kind of pwr out of anything besides a blower. The stock exhaust flows really well already and a tuner/ cai isn't going to net you anywhere close to that. Might feel alittle, but nothing like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryBMW Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Looking at a F350- 2000, Auto 4x4 with a V10. Reliable? :dumb: Girlfriends family has a 2004 F250 with the v10...reliable as fuck. They use it to pull a rather large horse trailer and haul all the necessary horse items (tons of feed, lumber, etc) and it runs like a champ. These people are NOT car people so I'm sure it has been neglected and it doesnt make a sound of protest. 80,000 hard miles. The only complaint, as everyone else has said, is shitty MPG. I'd buy one in a hearbeat if I needed that much of a truck. My f-150 with the 5.4l is more than enough truck for towing cars, bikes, boats, etc. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And If I was worried about MPG's, I'd sell all my cars and buy a fucking Prius. Fuck that. Fuck mother nature. :fuckyeah: Details if it does down.

He can set you up with an SCT tune that will help with MPG, shift points, etc etc. For far less. I had his tune on my 08, but I only ran the 87 tune, his 91/93 tune is crazy.

2highpsi Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Thanks for the link! How is the Evo BTW? PM or text me tomorrow Sorry man. Been buried in work. I'll hit ya up this weekend. Actually,... if you still got that Vegas trip hookup,.. text me as soon as you get this. I don't buy that one bit......thats a ton of pwr from a a tuner, exhaust and CAI. Go on any V10 forum and no one sees that kind of pwr out of anything besides a blower. The stock exhaust flows really well already and a tuner/ cai isn't going to net you anywhere close to that. Might feel alittle, but nothing like that. Troyer has an in house Dyno. A good customer of mine has had them do about 5 trucks for him, including a V10. This guy is about 75 years old, and anal as hell. I seen his dyno sheets before and after and it was almost 100hp He also logged 3.5 mpg better on the trip home than the trip there.
