Just remember New York fellow... you personally have jumped in a few threads and noted the fact that just because problems get posted on this site they are not an good indicator that the problem is wide spread...nobody posts unless they have a problem...
Example my 2005 3v V10 version has only had the fuel line retaining clip TSB done... down 2 hours. Other then that she is down a few hours every 3rd month for scheduled maintenance.. better then 98% up and available time on this rig.
I figure at 20,000 miles and 14months daily service that this particular truck has been the most reliable so far of every vehicle I ever owned... fingers crossed and knocking on wood as I spell check and post this.

You ain't fooling nobody krewat... You are holding out for the VVT and 3v V10 so you can be top dog...I know your plan and it is likely to work (grin)
I have no plans to attack another Texas Pine and require a new truck any time soon.
Then the cycle will start anew with 395HP 512Ftlb envy... "the wheel goes round and round"
BSEG time

I wouldn't consider this a widespread problem either. It's a computer chip - I work in that field for a living and you do get the occassional bad chip. Get a new one, put it in and get back to work.
All in all, I've had real good luck with fords. Since my 1998 f150 to my 02 f250 to my 05 f250 (and including my 04 Mach 1) this is my first actual problem with a vehicle other than the fuel clip recall. Not bad for 8 years and 4 vehicles.
I'm just glad it happened after my trip but it's still a bad time to happen with hunting season but glad we don't have snow and ice yet.
I was skeptical at first of getting the v10 after reading some issues w/spark plugs/etc.... but after reading additional posts from all of you regarding the power and all the other good things you say about it, you convinced me to get the v10.
And I'd have to say, I made a good choice.
