F250 V10 Whats reputation?
I'm looking at this 2001 supercab 250 V10. I know nothing about the motor, but have read some older post about the 99 model spark plug problems. I can accept the mpg. Looking for a good deal that has some pulling power, for that occassional 16' lowboy tractor thing. I don't know if I can post this but the truck is about 30 miles from me on EBAY. What should I know about the V10 before considering it.

It'll be THIRSTY, but other than that, it looks solid. It's never had a gooseneck or 5th wheel installed, and there's no receiver under the bumper. Also, I don't see any holes on the dash from where a brake controller would be installed. Oh, and it's got 3.73 Non-LS gears, which will give you the best mileage.

Um... I don't think that truck has ever had a ball on the bumper. Go look at it and crawl under the rear end. Betcha you can see where a hitch was once installed. No big deal though. A factory hitch will cost you $240 from Ford. And the truck will do just fine hauling with the 3.73 gears, especially on the highway. My dad's work has a 2003 F-350 CC Dually V-10 with the 4.30LS gears. That sucker gets about 11 MPG UNLOADED.

It will be fine, most diesel people I know except contractors just buy it because its a status thing
you know, the same kind who buy F150 FX4's and then never ever even engage 4x4, then they trade it in 2 years later
the V10 is a good motor and will save you quite a bit of money up front over the diesel.
