New V10, finally...
I picked up my truck from the dealer today after getting my V10 replaced for piston slap. It seems to run smoother than the old engine. As far as being a new 2000 engine I don't believe it is. The crate it came in was marked "Quality Renewal" which is Ford's remanufacturing name. So far, I've found a couple missing plastic keepers and a broken clip that holds the power brake booster hose. The only parts listed on my paper work was the engine, oil, filter and antifreeze. Now to gently put some miles on her so I can see what kind of power this new engine has. Thanks to all who have shared info with me in the past concerning your V10 replacement experiences.

Got mine, too, about 2 weeks ago. Seems to run better, fewer downshifts when towing (??more hp??). However, on first haul I melted the hose they used to hook up the two small EGR lines on the drivers side of the engine. Dealer has replaced them with a different material. We'll see if they hold up now.

I have recently purchased a new 250 4x4 V10. 1800 miles on it now. However, even when it was brand new it had a slight noise when under acceleration. The shop said it was or is from the exhaust system. Any ideas? Thank you

I have a brand new F350 Crew Cab V10 Long Bed Lariat and I have the dreaded "exhaust flutter". As I accelerate I hear the flutter, sounds like an exhaust leak but from what I hear it has to do with the way the exhaust is setup. I just got back from the dealer today and they said that at this time Ford is no doing anything about it but they are reviewing the issue. The Technical Manager said the he has no doubts that Ford will fix this.

Well, it's been almost exactly 3 months and now I'm hearing slight clattering at start up. Sounds just like the old engine just not as loud, yet.

I have some very good news. I had long conversations with my dealer yesterday. I spoke with the head service guy at my dealer. He put me in touch with the Ford Field Rep. She got in touch with her Manager. They have a contact in Ford Engineering. That person said that they were very close to making the new "Y" pipe available. The new pipe is ready and they are just waiting for the legal stuff to go thru with respect to correcting and updating a new Technical Service Bulletin that will be going out to everyone. Well, that Engineering contact gave them a part #. My dealer plugged that part # into the system and he was able to order it. They should have it by next week and will be installed on my truck. They said that this is a 2001 part number and will be put on the new 2001 trucks.

Guys, the part # for the new Y pipe: 1C3Z5246AA
He said you will also need a "nut kit" and a new gasket but that info should come up when you plug in the new part #. He said that visually it looks a lot different. I have not seen it yet but he said that the crazy bend is gone!
