305hp?

Hi all, I'm new here and lad i found this site! I used all the info here to help make my choice when I bought my ford!

I went to my local dealer with my vin and asked about a build record for my truck. They were happy to help and gave me a 3 page print out of it.

1FT Ford Motor Company, USA - Truck (Complete Vehicle)
S Hydraulic Class H: 9001-10,000 Cat 3
W21 F250Super Duty SRW Crew cab 4x4
Y 6.8L EFI V10 Gas 305HP
E Kentucky Truck: Jefferson County, Kentucky

Production Date 01/21/2005

Here's my question, I thought the 3v v10 came from the factory with 365hp? The only reverence to 305 hp I can find is 2000-2009 E-Series 2v Engines Found in vans? I do have a 3v engine right? I looked and i do have aluminum valve covers. Any help on this would be great. Thanks in advance!

TC

I couldve swore the 3v has 352hp, or some obscure number like that. Either way, that seems odd that you'd supposedly have a 2v.

The F-250 or F-350 (sold in the US and Canada) with a build date of 1/2005 will have the 3V V10 with 362hp @ 4,750rpm and 457tq @ 3,250rpm. Transmission options are the 6speed manual (ZF6) or the 5speed auto (5R110).

Thanks for the info guys, I was kinda worried when i read the print out. It was one of the reasons I picked the newer model year to get the 3v v10.

If you have aluminum valve covers, it's the 3-valve.

NICE. I'm jealous
