Never.... Sadly 05' was the last year for the Ex. The E-series still uses the 2V. Would be nice if they would stick the 3V in the E-series but then they would have to change more than just the grill. Seems the E-series redesign over the years is a new grill, thats it.

Do you run the tank until it's almost empty consistently?

The diagnosis has come from a Ford dealer both times. The first time they just replaced the pump, and it worked after that. I will talk to the service mgr about the relay however, had not thought of that. They are also replacing the sending unit this time around.
I very seldom even take it below 1/4 tank, kind of weird that way. They asked me the same thing too. It starts acting up at about 1/2 and gets worse as gas gets used up. I love this truck and want to get this taken care of, thats why I was wondering if this had happened to anyone else. I posted my own thread too after this one, said pretty much the same thing.
Thanks!

2000 or 2001 i don't know it's not mine it's a work truck but it has a problem at RPM. It started at about 3500, when you gave it any more then 3/4 throttle it would not accelerate, back off a little and it seemed fine but under heavy acceleration it feel like a rev limiter. That 3500 has dropped to about 2500 and that makes driving a little rough with any weight. My fuel pressure seems to be within spec(at least at idle) and i'm not popping any codes. I am still thinking fuel pump but figured i would look before i started throwing parts at it.
It is a 5-speed, it's got about 150,000 miles on it. It just had a complete tune up about 5000 miles ago
Thanks

I just bought this truck and its like the thing fell apart after I brought it home. Im not at all impressed with the v10 at this point. I need the truck and need it to be right so any help would be great.

Mine is doing the exact same thing. At 3k it hits a wall. Ive changed cop's, plugs, entire egr system, cleaned iac, air filter, fuel filter, cleaned maf, cleaned throttle body, cleaned injection system, new tps. All I havent done is checked fuel pressure, or changed fuel pressure reg and pump, and o2 sensors

They say most won't, but maybe your the lucky one that does. Are you using a tuner on yours?
"Most 2v V10’s will not step up into Open Loop (power enrichment) at WOT and from the factory are calibrated to operate in Closed Loop which restrains power levels. By correcting this power enrichment function alone can increase power and toque from your 2V V10."

Today while changing a leaking rad hose I noticed the at WOT the rubber line from the intake elbow in front of the throttle body to the IAC was collasping. I pulled it off and the the lines are super soft,and vac can? was full of oil. Its a dealer part @ 43.00. Im going to order it tomorow and see if that cures my "wall"
It makes sense for my truck though. Its WOT not 3500rpm where my power loss is. It also explains the puff of smoke I get @WOT. I guess combo of a bad PCV valve (replaced it) and the bad? rubber lines to the IAC created a vac from the crankcase to the throttle body. Just thinking.........thoughts anyone?
