OK, I've done a lot of searching and reading, but haven't seen any definitive answers to these 3 questions about the 05 V10:

1) Is it the 3v or the 2v engine?

2) Are the stock exhaust manifolds and y-pipe the same as the F series for 05, which seem to get pretty good reviews, at least compared to the earlier designs?

3) Did they fix the exhaust manifold stud problems on the 05?

 

Excursions unfortunately never received the more powerful 3v V10s so all 05s are 2v engines.


Due to the two not having the same engines, I'm going to think they don't.

Someone else will need to chime in for this one because I'm as curious as you are.
