2005 was the first year for the 3v...both 5.4 v8 and 6.8 v10 (in the SD) your dads v10 is a 2v...starting in 2005 the v10 went to 3v and did away with the 2v...hope this helps...

An easy way to tell is if the valve covers are plastic or aluminum.

Plastic = 2-valve
Aluminum = 3-valve

I like Art's way. Just gives you another chance to open your hood and be amazed at the great V-10.
