Should I do it?V10

[arcticatman]

i would not buy the 5.4 they are dogs. a v10 has a good amount of power the 3 valve has even more. But the two valve like your looking at will be strong the v10s are faster stcok for stock. but you have far more after market options with a powerstroke.I will get a powerstroke next time around but that is just cause i want to make a real fast truck.

I would buy that v10! Looks nice, I have one and its a great truck. Gets about 10, loaded and unloaded lol. And if the motor ever blows up on you....Drop a 24 valve cummins in it and have some fun.

md18 you are a very wise man.

NO.... my dad has an 04 and it gets 10 with four people riding in it......

The fact that you've posted on here says to me you really wanna wait for the PSD. Most of us will have a hard time giving any unbiased reviews!

If your driving 6K miles a year with it I'de say get the V10 if it's had a good maintance history. Your not worried about mileage and maintnace cos ton it will be cheaper than a PSD. Hell yesterday I saw a V10 hauling a 420 cat backhoe.

yes I do really want another psd...fact after driving the v10 I wanted a psd bad so I am picking up a 01 psd tomorrow if all goes as planned....the thought of a spark plug flying out isn't to appealing.

well after talking to the owner some more the transmission had never been serviced. A mechanic friend told him if it wasn't giving him trouble don't change the fluid and then he said if you drove it hard it would burn a quart of oil between changes but that was normal for a V10 No way was I giving 6k for it and he wouldn't budge.

the v10 is a ok motor have one in my 350 van and i drove a new 08 with the 5.4 it has just as much power for towing but not big loads like the v10 id get a 5.4

I have a 96 PSD with a NAPA 6637 and a turbo back 4 inch exhaust no cat no muffler. I have a friend with a 2000 with a V-10 and said to me that his truck has more power and can out pull me and out pull me in a tug o war. Now I dont think this is possible. he has 150,000 on tht V10, and I have 230,000 on my PSD. He has an auto and I have a ZF5. My PSD is very very well maintained, and I am not sure the maintenace of my friends truck. I like his truck I just dont think a gas motor has more power then my PSD. Both trucks have no major engine power adders. The V10 has an dual exhaust. Anyone with any insight please let me know.
