sandblaster:
Perhaps.... Then again our home values are a small fraction of yours...
Motorrad:
okay back to serious discussion.
Low milage diesel trucks are priced to the moon. to the point that buying a leftover 2013 would make more scense.
BUT that is way WAY WAY more freeking money than I want to spend.
so.
I like the 8.1L 4x4 2500HD chevys. but they are like Hens teath. rare as hell. and when you find them, they are still expensive around 18-22K.
Looking for HONEST oppinions on the V10 triton fords.
Lots. and I mean LOTS of them around here, in immaculate shape, F250, 4x4. etc. with under 50K miles on them for in the $16K range (asking) which means 14 to me
power numbers look very close to the 8.1l chev.
as long as you stick to the right year range
(I know usmc drove one and doesnt like it, im curios if it was the s**tty power years 97-99?
All the 3v V10 motors starting in Late 2004 are rated as 362HP and 457 Ft Pounds torque
Before this change to 3 Valve heads the 2v V10 from 2000 to 04 was rated at 310 HP and around 425 Ft pounds
The early 97-99 motors were rated between 275 and 295 HP
do you know if the same s**tty trans behind the Power stroke is on the V10? or worse?
I hear the 04 and up 5R110 TorqShift 5 speed oppinoins on that?
USMC 500:
I did drive one of the early triton V10's......It just felt like the thing couldn't get out of its own way......wasn't a fan....and even though its not really a big deal, I'm not a fan of the exhaust note the V-10's put out....I'm just screwy like that. Not to mention that the one I drove go HORIBBLE gas mileage. :-D
Mohave:
Have a 99 with the V10. Second owner. Put Thorleys on it and S&B intake. Added flow thru muffler.
Got a tune. 4 speed auto. Goes pretty well. Towed 9000 a few times, no problem. Tritons like to rev.
Very little problems, but I take care of the truck. Gas about 10 in town, 14 highway, not towing.
Can't get the V10 to sound like a V8 but it ain't horrible. Ford Truck Enthusiasts website is great, kinda like this one is for KX500's...check it out and go from there. Good truck. Good luck.
Motorrad:
Hmm. I have a 5 speed manual nv4500 that would fit it ion my garage floor. And could come up with 4x4 stuff in a week. Hmmm

Hmmm. Could be converted to 4x4 very easy
