that would be the pi heads they introduced to fix the plug blow out problem. the modular engines are very reliable and strong and will go a easy 250k with good maintaince. that year truck has very few issues and are good solid work trucks.

The 2000 thru 2004 model V10 pickups are rated at 310hp/425lb-ft. The 2005 model year V10s are upgraded to the 3 valve heads along with a bump in hp/torque ratings.
Mine just turned 33K miles without any engine or drivetrain issues whatsoever, and probably 5 to 10 thousand miles of that are towing mileage. Planning to keep it for 100K and then some if all goes well and I would easily recommend this engine/pickup to anybody as a medium and occasional heavy-duty work motor/truck.

I bought my 2000 F-250 V-10 from the dealer with 0 miles on it. Right now it has 95k on it without a single hiccup from the engine (some brake, ESOF hub, and ball-joint issues but no engine problems).
Still love it. It seems it always gets 13mpg +/- 0.5mpg no matter how I drive it (unless I'm towing the 5th wheel, then its 6-10mpg depending on headwind/tailwind).
