v10 start up
On my 99 V10 all you had to do was just bump the starter and it fired right up.with the new 06 V10 you have to wind the starter up a lot,does this have anything to do with the extra valves. it only has 442 miles on it.

It may have a lot to do with only having 442 miles on it, the number of valves doesn't matter. Being a new truck, it could be any number of other issues, which is why you get a warranty. I would say if it continues to be a problem I would be talking to the service manager about it. Also, try another truck on the lot and see if it does the same thing.

It almost sounds like the pressure is leaking down in the fuel line while it sits. Next time you go to start it cold, turn the ignition on but don't crank it right away. Give the fuel pump time to pressurize the system and see if it makes any difference.

The 05 V10s do take a little longer crank than most people are used to in Ford gas engines. Most of my pushrod V8s, I never heard the engine crank, they just fired up.
We had a thread on this a year ago and most 3 valve owners found that this engine always takes a short crank, warm or cold. It is a little better if you turn on the key and wait 15 seconds or so before you crank. Since I put in my Vipor remote start I rarely crank by hand and the Vipor has a fairly long delay before the crank.
On the odd cold morning the remote crank has not quite stayed in long enough and the V10 has started and stopped. It automatically goes into about a 30 second delay and cranks again. The second crank has always started even faster than usual.
I really don't know why the newer V10s take that little crank, mine is under 2 seconds, but they do.

Yea, all my cars fire up immediately, but the 350 definitely (and always) cranks longer. Given that a second lasts from NOW....... until NOW, the engine takes maybe a second and a half, every start. Now, three seconds would be a different story!

my 06 sd 250 is the same...you really have to crank it pretty long (2 sec.) to start up. Especially during the early/cold mornings. I have a remote starter and usually takes 2 tries to fire it up in the morning but during mid-day, one try is all it needs.

It's more likely the fly-by-wire system. Is there an IAC valve on the 3-valver? Or does the computer just open the throttle plate to start? Cap?

???? myself.
my personal thinking is it needs crank a little longer due to cylinder filling before it finds a hot one. or it takes that many seconds for all the sensers to say i'm ok lets fire this baby up. starts the same way hot or cold.
it's not just us i had many people in other brands saying the same thing about cranking a few before it's running.
i'll leave it as no answer,from me ?????.

I wonder if it cycles the throttle servo before starting to make sure it's going to work ?
My '01 is a "touch the starter" and VROOM. Same with my 4.6's...
Come on, someone with a 3-valve take off the plastic cover and see if it's cycling the throttle for me !!!
