V10, 2v or 3v ?
Can anyone tell me how to tell if I have a 2v or 3v v10. I have a 2009 f250 4x4 crew cab LB with a v10.
The reason I ask is that reading the TSB'S for this SD. Some state for the V10 between 2008 and 2010 2v or 3v.
I did the VIN check on here and it states I have a post 2008 v10. How do I tell if I have a 3v or 2v. any input or direction thanks.

For the record, '97-99 V10's are all non-PI head 2-valve.
All 2000-up 2-valve V10s are PI head.
2000-2004 F-series and Excursion are 2-valve.
2005-up F-series is 3-valve, INCLUDING the F53 motorhome (class A) chassis.
2005 Excursion is 2-valve (apparently without a knock sensor).
2000-up E-series are all 2-valve, INCLUDING class C motorhomes which are built on the E-series chassis-cab.
All 2000-up 2-valve V10s are PI head.
2000-2004 F-series and Excursion are 2-valve.
2005-up F-series is 3-valve, INCLUDING the F53 motorhome (class A) chassis.
2005 Excursion is 2-valve (apparently without a knock sensor).
2000-up E-series are all 2-valve, INCLUDING class C motorhomes which are built on the E-series chassis-cab.

Excellent point. The 3-valve V10's are variable-plenum.

PI = Power Improved
Pre-2000s 4.6/5.4/6.8L V8/V10 2-valve engines came equipped with 'teardrop' shaped intake ports on the cylinder heads, while post-2000s engines saw the introduction of rectangular shaped intake ports along with swirl inducing type combustion chambers, and hence the name 'power improved'.
