Pre 2000 Manual V10 Only

Sorry if there is all ready a thread for this but I've been looking through threads for a week now. I can not find one that people aren't talking about a deisel or an automatic.

I have a 1999 Manual F-250 6.8L V10 Triton XL Super Duty 4x4.

I just moved over to Eastern Washington and had to take it on a 225 mile trip from Western Washongton to get it here and now im having some troubles with it.

I'm not huge into cars or trucks but I would love some insight on anything I can get help with. If we could meet up that would be even better so I can see what you are talking about and I might not be able to explain well since im not huge into vehicles.

In Benton City right next to the Tri-Cities. Everyone else is up close to Spokane as wells so more people down South would help.

If you think you could help with anything feel free to ask and ill talk about it then if I get some replies on this post.

Any help is much appriciated. Don't know much about vehicles as I said but I do love this truck and want to get her running good again.

Thank you for any help in advance.

Just turned to 153000 yesterday driving home from school. I asked my dad who is the owner of the truck. (Letting me drive until I can find a more fuel efficent vehicle.) And he said he may have a few filed away somewhere and what ever is in the glove box. I just took it in on sunday and the a pvc tube was cracked and now that is replaced. But now after they fixed that tge truck seems to lug even worse in the higher gears like it wasnt before. And they tell me cylinder 3 is misfiring which is one of the spark plugs that stipped and my dad and I replaced.

Did you use a Dorman, helicoil or timesert for the plug you fixed? Also try swapping a different coil to Cylinder 3 and Cylinder three to the other.

Helicoil was used. I will try that when I work on it this weekend.
