The best v10
I'm looking to purchase a V10 F250/350 in the near future. What's the best year for the V10 between 1999 and 2007, if there's any difference at all..? Also, are there models that have specific continual issues (ex.electrical problems)?

No big issues overall.
2005-up is the 3-valve, with the Torqshift, which is a very reliable package. Johnny Langton had an issue with his (early?) 2005 with cam followers, but haven't heard it from anyone else.
For the 2-valve, stick with a 2003-2004, as they have the long-thread heads, although you still MUST maintain the plugs, no matter what year.

yea if ur shopping for V10's and can afford up to 2007 model years, thats what i'd suggest u get...
buy the newest truck u can afford that suits ur needs..
i think the 3V with the 5speed auto is the best config. to have rolled out the doors at the factory...
