Well I have never dealt with a V10, (although I would love to see what it would do in a light F150!)

But!.....when it comes to rough idles, Fords are very well known for the IAC, (Idle Air Control) valve being the culprit. On the V8's, it is located at the top/back of the intake manifold. Just 2 bolts and a 2 or 3 wire harness and it comes right off. Clean it, and put it back on. If it helps the idle, even a little, replace it. The cleaning is nothing more than a very temp fix. It will go back to being a prob again shortly, but cleaning it can help to identify it as a prob.

Let us know!...I am always interested about the bigger motors.

rough idling

I'm sorry about the F-150 its in my RV , we have change the IAC valve
any check all the other comp.control.
It surges more then a rough idling.
My brother have and autorepair shop and we put it on his scanner or something
we don't find anything that was out of range.
