Nice truck Rich, I have a 2008 F250 with the 5.4..... No, I am not happy with the power either. I have a cold air intake and a chip. It helped immensely but its still not good enough. You wouldnt want the K&N cold air setup if you have gravel roads and dusty conditions, we have neither here. In fact, I dont think I have ever driven on a gravel road. My mileage sucks, wish I had bought a V10.
If I didnt love my red trucks, the gun metal gray would be my next choice.

Here she is just before the maiden voyage this morning to see how she would handle the trailer.
Lil over 3/4 tank of fuel with me and the missus sitting in the cab and it grossed a lil over 14,000 lbs empty with nothing in the trailer.
Learned something about V10's in the last 700 miles of driving. They don't have it at the take off to burn the living pees outta the tires but once you get rolling and put your foot to the firewall that thing comes to life. The sound that engine makes is just damn neart good enough to make wood. ;D
The features and cab comforts in this Pickup are unreal. The things it can do. I do have to get my 16 year old daughter out here though so she can show me how to utilize and operate everything on that damn radio. Bluetooth and "SYNC" options.... I can't make any of it work yet. I must be a technology geriatric. lol.

If the V10 has the same oil pan style as my 5.4 does, you will HATE changing oil. I just serviced my truck this afternoon and every time I do it, its a big game of "where's the oil gonna go?".

Ah hell, Can't be any worse then my cummins in the dodge. If the vo-tech grads from Wal-mart can do it, then it ain't no thing. I don't have a lick of trouble with the 5.4 in my 01 Ford... Did they change some things between that year and yours?

My drain plug is in the side of the pan. Hence why you have to guess where the oil is going to go....because it aint straight down

My Chevy's are no better the 97 oil runs down over the diff and the 04 dead centers the crossover exhaust pipe Grrrrrrrrrr
