Exhaust manifold problems?
I was shopping for used F250's over the weekend, and the one place I stopped that deals in alot of 3/4ton and 1 ton pickups said the one problem he's noticed with the V10's is cracking exhaust manifolds.
Is this something to look out for? Any way to tell if ones had new manifolds installed?

Never heard of cracking exhaust manifolds. Breaking the studs that hold them on, yes.
But cracked manifolds? Not usually. The stock manifolds are stainless-steel - hard to crack, they usually give more than regular cast-iron.
