First V10

I just bought my first F250 V10…she has 139K miles and since I’ve been diving mostly the 93 F350 I’m a little out of touch with ten gasser’s. Are there any first things that should be addressed with this V10? Timing belt/chain anything I should do at this point? It sound great and runs strong and real quiet. It’s an automatic 4x4 XLT…any advice?

Check the plug torque , the pcv hose , and fuel filter . Keep the oil and filters changed , and expect many miles out of it . These are good engines . Maintain them properly, and you will be happy !

ha I understand that my F350 has 230K miles and I'd like this F250 to last as long but not holding breath...with 139K now I just hope she make it to 200K
