So if you are worried about them, just purchase a newer v10, and you can avoid some of these issues. the power and throttle response on these engines are great.
SDRob - have you experienced the spark plug or the exhaust stud problems? The spark plug problem is preventable, but I wonder how to prevent the exh stud problem. What other repair issues have you faced? I just purchased a 99F250 V10 4x4 that has the snow prep pkg and the camper tow pkg. I figure with these two packages that I have little worry about wearing this truck out.
