Any V-10 Owners Here?

[SID297]

I plan on getting an F-350 SRW ex cab short bed. V-10 6 speed 4x4 (manual trans case) with 4.30's.

What color and will u be ordering with manual hubs also?

 

[SID297]

DSG XLT Sport. Yes, manual hubs. I want to keep the drivetrain as simple as possible.

Why the 6-speed?? I've got one in my stroker, and for towing it is alright, but as far as anything relative to go-fast. They suck. and +1 for the manual hubs-t-case. the vac. hubs suck, and its much cooler to yank the lever and twist the hubs.

I like hand shakers in trucks. I want it to be simple.

get the 4.30s. They get better mileage than the 4.10s

 

[SID297]

I don't really care about mileage.

Why simple? You plan on using it as a work truck or something?

I want it to last basically forever under some heavy use.

Oooh, good reason!

You know my dad has the V10 and he pulled a huge 5th wheel. The thing had no troubles at all. I think the only thing he would have changed is he would have got the 3.73 gears instead of the 4.30's. Have any of you guys had a chip put in a V10? If so what kind of power gains did it give you? Also what kind of hit did the mileage take? Thanks guys.

I've heard that the new 3v picks up close to 30rwhp with just a tune.

With just a tune or with a CAI and a tune?

 

[SID297]

Probably a cai, I'm not sure.

 

[Mach&Roll]

Do you think the truck would do ok with 3.55 gears. I bet mileage would increase a little bit.

 

[SID297]

3.55 is not an option.

 

[Mach&Roll]

I know it is not an option, but you could have them put in later. I was telling my dad that he might want to look into that. I was thinking either that or the 3.73's. Do you think 3.55's would ok to lug that much weight around? :shrug:

I dont think they make gears that size for those trucks. Plus you dont want a gear that size anyway, the truck would be such a dog you would not be able to pull anything with it.
