2005 X Question

Guys I found a super clean 2005 4wd v10 xlt has 19k mi

.
Is it worthy to sell my 2000 limited , and is the new v10 , good like 2000 models, and the transmission strong .
I never had a problem that needs a hard cash . The only thing I did is re do my trans because of o/d flashing and that is the mechanic mistake, the problem was in the alternator Charging 9v to 12.5v .

It's the same v10, the Ex never got the 3 valve motor. The rest is really up to you, preferences, budget etc...

Really because it's stronger and I feel it . And it's sounds different like a Dodge v10 .

Probably need to re-calibrate the butt dyno, that or maybe it's tuned, or yours is worn? I dont know the specifics on either truck, but it's the same 2 valve motor.

Mine is v10 and clean engine, no modes and the 2005 is v10 also no modes .
If it's the the same motors it's good i love mine.
What about the transmission is it the same.

Maybe it has 4.30 gears, that will make a difference in feel.

Same V10 and trans all years.

You will have a few more threads on the plugs in an '05 2V V10, so there's a much smaller chance of a plug blowing out on '02+ V10s.

Yes, same trans between the two, just not the '01 trans.
