      I have a 2003 F350 5.4L 2wd Every Time it rains the truck seems like it starves for gas, I use nothing but premium gas in it and cylinder 5 has given me a problem in the past with accumulating water but I have no intake leak so we put some silicone in the sparkplug well after changing the boot and it fixed it for a while but now its doing it again and no check engine light. I cant figure it out and only happens when it rains and a few days after that, then the truck runs like a dream until it rains again

      I have a 2000 F-250 with the V-10, mine has the 5 speed manual transmission. My 2006 F-250 has the 6 speed manual transmission. My 2000 Excursion has V-10 and the 4 speed automatic transmission. None have blown a spark plug ( knock on wood ). I attribute this to my mechanic following the correct procedure for changing the plugs, extremely important. My 2000 has 250k miles on it.

    My mechanic used to run the service dept. at a ford dealer. I have a 2000 Excursion V-10.
    1. Go only to dealer to purchase new spark plugs every 80k miles, replace all 10 coil rubber boots and clean inside of throttle body.
    2. If you have after market off-set rims, change out front hubs every 60k miles.
    3. If you experience "theft light" issues and it won't start at turn of key, the diodes in the alternator may have failed, causing all kinds of problems with your PCM. It will continue to charge battery when running but will discharge when not running. Replace with remanufactured ford alternator.
    4. If someone steals your cat-converter and damages the wires to your 02 sensors (before and after the cat-converter) it might cause the number 19 fuse (under the hood, 20 amp) to blow and render the engine limp-mode.
    I experienced all of this and the only real problem was the Alternator went out...big deal...took 45 mins to replace. The other stuff was caused by outside forces.

    Got a 2000 400k Miles doesn’t miss a step and most times is pulling a 4500lb lawn care trailer or my 5000lb boat! Either way 11mpg loaded and 14.5mpg unloaded. Coils are super common on these too, along with everything you stated. But really even with all these things the cost of ownership is still cheaper than most Volkswagens !!!!!

    :41 I'm gonna stop you right there . . . The 6.8 Does NOT require premium fuel. If you reed the manual closely, it says if in your climate/altitude you experience knock, to use premium. I've put around 3500 gallons of 87 octane through these engines, and they run just fine.

    I have a 99 F250 extended cab lariat with a V10 automatic with factory 4:30 gears. I have owned this truck for 17 years and it presently has 172,000 miles. In all this time, I had one spark plug blowout (#2) and I repaired it with a Time Sert Kit myself. I did not trust anyone with this procedure. It’s been seven years and still running great! She is 24 years old now and I have replaced the PCV-short U hose three times,fan belt once, two alternators, ten OEM injectors, ten OEM coil packs and ten OEM plugs. I keep her serviced every 2500 miles because that’s all I drive it in a years time. There are no oil leaks, no exhaust leaks at this time. She has been a good truck for a first year Superduty. I still pull my fifth wheel camper from time to time with no issues. This time next year I will be applying for an antique tag! LOL!

    Thanks for the video. I have a 2002 e350 6.8ltr van I work/ live out of. I've blown out 3 plugs on original engine. First time was a huge surprise. Very loud! I did research and bought the "time sert" retread insert kit. Did the repair with engine in van. Very difficult, lack of space. Extremely nerve racking. Drilling a big hole in the head is something that is not natural. Anyway, worked excellent. Had the pcv cracked hose up under throttle body as well. gave intermediate rough running. Would have never found it if someone hadn't suggested looking. Almost impossible to see on my vehicle. Engine made it to 300,000 miles then developed miked oil and gas somewhere other than in the cylinder....automatic transmission made 240,000. Just installed a rebuilt high performance engine and getting ready to fire it up. I love these engines, and love my van. Mileage is 10mpg no matter what I'm doing... yup that sucks. cheers

    Bought a ‘99 from a buddy. F350, flatbed, new trans, new brakes, new coils, new Cooper tires… the list goes on and on. They got tired of putting money into it, so I picked it up for 1500. I’ve put a few hundred into it, but at 250k on the clock, this thing is a dream. HOWEVER, it makes a weird shrieking noise occasionally, hit a bump, noise starts, hit another bump, noise stops. What in thee heck!? I’m stumped.

    Holy cow Love this video and thanks for making me feel better about buying my new used truck for 6,800$ with less then 130k and dropping 3,300$ back into to it in order to get the helio coil fixed because of the miss firing issue and needing to replace the coil packs on to cylinders with the tune up and well now have it chipped for better gas mileage and it seems to be working as far as getting better gas mileage for a work truck. Its a 1999 but I have been looking into the spark plug blowouts and that was one of my biggest concerns about getting to the truck but holy cow its a beast of a truck this is the biggest truck I have owned in my life and its like driving a whale in a kitty pool!

  • @eldridge201
    @eldridge201 3 роки тому +17

    A couple things I noticed that you discussed in the video that aren't correct. I'm not trying to nitpick but just want the correct info to be out there as others are watching.

    1. The generation that you are working with (the 2003 model) is the 1st generation or commonly known as the "2-valve" version which was offered from 1999 to 2004.
    ** (NOT up to 2007 as you said in the video) **
    2. This version did NOT have 360 horsepower as you mentioned at the beginning of the video. The 1st generation 2-valve versions of the Ford V10 for the Super Duty had 310 HP and 425 lb-ft. torque respectively.
    The 2nd generation (more commonly known as the "3-valve" versions) from 2005 to 2010 in the Super Duty trucks had 362 HP and 457 lb.-ft. of torque.
    These engines were offered in other vehicles with different power ratings as well such as Uhaul box trucks, RVs, buses, stripped chassis trucks, and other vehicles. In many cases, they had different intake and head designs and some parts are interchangeable between the different engines and some are not. But that's a different discussion.
    For the 1999 to 2004 versions for pickups, they had the option of the 4R100 or 4-speed automatic transmission or the 6-speed manual. From 2005 to 2010, they updated the automatic to a 5R110 or 5-speed and still offered the 6-speed manual as an option.
    They don't offer the 6R140 or 6-speed automatic transmission for the Super Duty pickups from 2011 and newer however, they do offer this with the chassis versions such as Uhauls, buses, RVs, and other models. To my knowledge, there is no conversion kit avialable to mate the 6-speed automatic to the 6.8 V10 for pickups. So, one would need to get this from a donor vehicle of one of the vehicles mentioned above.
    3. You called the valve cover a "valve cap". I've never heard anyone refer to the valve covers as valve "caps" ever. I'm sure it was just a simple mistake and I'm not trying to get on you about it but it was just odd.
    --------
    This channel's videos are great and this one is as well for the most part so please don't take my criticism the wrong way.
    I would suggest just doing a simple Google search in the future when discussing particular models and engines so you have the right info. If you need to, just use a 3x5 index card to have a few notes on and refer to that. This doesn't need to be so professional that you can't use a simple index card.
    ----------
    For the Ford V-10 engines, although you did mention a few issues that they share with the other similar 4.6 and 5.4 V-8 models such as the spark plugs blowing out on earlier models and the exhaust manifolds bolts rusting out, you didn't mention one very important difference about these engines in relation to some of the newer 5.4 engines.
    The fact that both versions of the 6.8 V-10 DO NOT HAVE camshaft phasers or usually known as VVT (variable valve timing). This makes this engine so much more reliable with less moving parts internally to break down.
    That might be one of the main reasons that these engines have been so reliable and I think it's something that is worth pointing out.
    If you read the various forums and other sites online or in Facebook groups, you'll notice many owners getting at least 200k and 300k and more out of these engines before they have a major breakdown.
    Usually.
    So, they are pretty reliable for a lot of miles with little money invested. And, they are a lot cheaper to maintain than diesel engines with only needing 6 quarts of oil with a filter compared to at least 14 quarts or more with a diesel.
    One of the main downfalls (other than what you pointed out) is that they typically don't get the best fuel mileage. Usually.
    Most owners report getting between 12 mpg and 13 mpg unloaded (without towing a trailer) driving down the highway. Many have said they get between 7 mpg and 9 mpg when towing a trailer.
    But in fairness, it's all relative to how you drive. My guess is that "most" owners of these V10 pickups are spending more time on the gas than they need to because they like to have more "fun" in the seat of their pants due to the power. So, if they would just be "nicer" to the gas, most owners would probably get an extra mile or 2 better.
    Personally, I own a 2002 F-250 extended cab 4x4 with 8 foot bed and with the 6.8 V-10 and 4-speed automatic with 3.73 gears. It's got 308,000 miles and runs pretty well. I get between 14 and 16 mpg if I'm driving conservative at around 68 to 73 mph with little to no wind against me on the sides or front. If I want to do 75 to 80 mph, that obviously goes down to around 11.5 to 13 mpg.
    But wind is probably the biggest factor in how good or bad the fuel mileage will be. Even if it's from the side, it's still not good.
    I use an old Superchips Cortex 2950 tuner and have it set to the "fuel mileage XS" tune to try to get the best fuel economy and run the cheapest 10% ethanol (87 octane) whenever possible. Sometimes, I'll get an 88 octane that I think is a 12% to 15% blend (I might be wrong on that) from a local Casey's general convenience store that is a few cents cheaper.
    But usually, I just put the cheapest stuff in I can wherever I'm fueling up.
    I also tow with this setting without issues and have towed over 20,000 pounds (total with truck, trailer, cargo, fuel, me, tools, and etc.) and it pulled fine so I just leave it on the fuel mileage XS setting. I've tested it with different fuel and the tow setting and performance setting and overall, the fuel mileage didn't improve over the same conditions and terrain so I decided the added costs for fuel wasn't worth it.

    If you own a Triton Two Valve engine buy the CalVan insert kit and proactively install all of them. Do it when you plan on changing plugs and oil since that is part of the job. Costs a few hundred but you don't want to blow out a spark plug out on the road.

    Make sure you use motor craft spark plugs. I manage a fleet, and 2 2013 f450 v10s I have had champion plugs in them from before I joined. These plugs deteriorated in under 30k miles and the ceramic insulator on the plug fell off and destroyed multiple cylinders.

Easy to fix, just pricy. Not a bad guide for people wanting to buy one of these trying to find what can fail on them. Tritons are solid motors with a few flaws like any decent engine.

    I have a 99 F350 with the V10 Triton. Bought with blown engine, did an engine swap with a used one. It runs great with excellent compression and oil pressure but have an issue with fumes in the cabin. To me it seem more like gas fumes than exhaust. Have checked all vacuum lines for deterioration, no leaks that I can detect. Is not coming from the emissions cannister output and there are no gas leaks anywhere in the engine compartment or in the fuel lines to the tank. It is enough to get a bit of a headache when sitting still or moving slow - during normal driving, can't really smell them. Ran fine without any codes this summer for about 700 miles but then threw a DTC P1131. I cleared it but came back within 25 miles. IDS shows: HO2S11 not switching correctly. Sensor indicates lean. Air leaks at the exhaust manifold (I replaced all the broken studs and installed new exhaust gaskets on the replacement engine). Freeze frame shows SFT1 and SFT2 at -3.91% and LFT1 and LFT2 at 10.94% but not sure if that is normal. Not sure if the fumes and the DTC are related - any ideas? Not sure what to look for.

Sucked it out with straw and shopvac, drove another 80K miles rinse and repeat. Otherwise best truck ever, no, best vehicle ever. Work truck, airlifts for heavy loads, then snow plowed 5 years, followed by 30' 5th wheel coast to coast 10 times. Now 175K and had to replace fuel pump, otherwise virtually no expenses but tires.

    Hello. Great video. I have an 03 f250 with the 5.4 and 86,000 miles that runs great until it rains or gets washed 🤔. After that, it has a slight skip when idling and while driving, it doesn't accelerate well because of a skip or misfire. If you really step on the gas however, you eventually get pass the skip, but acceleration is still terrible. Again, this ONLY happens after a heavy rain or a car wash(hood closed and no engine cleaning is done during washes). After about a day, everything is fine again...

      Somewhere in front water may not be draining as it should, and is being diverted to one of the sensors, that would be my guess. Or one of the seals around the engine bay that limits the amount of water that gets in has failed.

      As others have said check the coils and spark plug holes. Remove the coils and blow the holes out with air. Check to see if you have the rear hood weather seal.
      Also check the inside fuse box below the dash. Early superduty’s are notorious for the driver side windshield leaking onto the fuse box and gem module. It causes all kinds of electrical problems

I sprayed a bit of fuel into the air intake throat valves and it started right up, shutting off as soon as it used up what was sprayed.

Next in line is banks headers because exhaust manifold leaking. $2000 for the banks set up. I need to improve the 8mpg issue or I will let it sit and by a 45 mpg car. What can I do to get better gas mileage ? I dont put my foot in it, I take it easy and still no improvement. I wish they had a turbo to go with this v10. Mpg is what I need help with. I'd be happy with 12mpg.

    • @brokenwrench404
      @brokenwrench404 2 роки тому +1

      Check to see if your hubs are in the locked position. I was getting 12mpg with the factory 4.30 gears and 35’s. Check your fuel filter, air filter and the S shaped hose that’s under the throttle body that connects to the pcv. They rupture and leak easily. Run some good injector cleaner through a couple tanks of gas.
      I did the banks headers and the free spin kit but also added 37’s and 4.88 gears. I’m getting 9-10 on the highway

      If your 02 sensors are original, might consider changing those out as they control fueling. Cleaning the MAF sensor not a bad idea, either (they make a spray specifically for this, don't just use brakleen on it). You can get MAF sensor cleaner at walmart.

    • @nunnyabizness
      @nunnyabizness 3 роки тому

      I have ample experience with this problem. The gear selector (gear shift) mechanism on these trucks are GARBAGE! Typically the gear selector tube breaks because it's made of pot aluminum. I've had to replace mine at least 3 times. Also the lever at the end of this tube can work itself loose if the small bolt at the end can/will come loose and then you'll have shifting problems. Just another poor design by Ford engineers. I've done mine so many times that I can have my steering column removed and on the work bench in 30 min. or less. Sometimes I'd like to kick those engineers right in the balls for the problems I have with my F250. I've got 318,000 miles on mine but I've had a lot of problems. Best of luck to you with your shift problem.

      Most of it. Except the 2008 have the spark plugs that can break when you're trying to do just a simple tuneup. Then you need a special tool to get the rest of it out. The replacement plugs won't break because . . . well they are just smarter than Ford engineers.

  • @williamwhite9767
    @williamwhite9767 2 роки тому +1

    Most aluminum head V8s break exhaust manifold bolts. My smelly opinion is that with the aluminum head expanding more than the cast iron manifold the stress on the studs cause the breakage. Don't the rear studs tend to break first? The rear of the manifold is probably the hottest because all of the exhaust passes this point. Perhaps an aluminum exhaust manifold would fix this issue?

      Coil, spark plug, exhaust manifold leaks, Lifter, Rocker, Valve Spring! Check them in that order as that easiest, and cheapest! Make sure coils are seated and sealed, wire connectors are secure! Use a stethoscope to isolate the problem area! If you suspect a bad coil, swap it with one from another cylinder! If the issue starts at the other cylinder, it's the coil! Lifters, Rocker are easy and the valve cover is simple to remove! Just take your time putting it back on! Make sure the gasket seats properly or you'll be starting over! Don't replace any springs unless during inspection you find one is broken! If it's any of the "Lash Adjusters/Lifters" it's because something got inside it and is stopping it from completing a full compression cycle! Many good YT videos on lash adjuster replacement! Don't forget to preload them before installing! Good luck!

    Ahhh I have a 2002 Triton V10 Excursion… dam I should have gone desire… Well I’ve had to have 3 of the plugs replaced as they blew while on the road. Sounds like you dropped a muffler…. What was not said, is the shop that does the work needs special tools to prepare for and insert the Helicoils. The drilling rig has a vacuum attachment to suck up as much of the shavings while drilling and you need a bore scope / camera to look down into the cylinder area and inspect to make sure you got the all. Then repeat after threading for Helicoil and after inserting Helicoil… I basically bought the tool for the shop the first time they did this for me and lucky me it was one of the ones near the firewall…. I think it ran about $800 with the next two costing about $300 as they were further out…. I’m afraid to service the remaining 7 plugs as I fear exactly what you said here, plugs and threads will come out. I am extremely disappointed with Ford that they did not fess up and do a recall of their own on such a bad engineering issue. Left me stranded twice and my wife and sone once…. Now it gets 8 miles to the gallon and sits on the street gathering dust/dirt….
    Oh yea…. You forgot another BIG issue…. DEATH WOBBLE! I have that issue nw as well and that’s why it sits parked not being used…. My wife is constantly after me to get rid of it….

      Another way is to pull the fuel pump relay so the engine won't start then crank the engine several times to clear out the aluminum shavings. I've had 100% success doing this with other people's vehicle. My V10 finally did the same thing while I was on the road. Stopped at a NAPA and they had the kit so I did it right there in their parking lot. Pulled my f.pump relay, cranked it, put the plug back in and continued on my hunting trip. But the vacuum tool sounds really trick! Thanks for the info.

    Got a 2000 F250 super duty just randomly started overheating about 1 & 1/2 hrs into a 2 hour trip. Coolant looks a dirty brown... It started losing power so we had it towed before the damage got any worse.

    I have a 2000 excursion with the v10 and I can tell you the pop of a plug coming out while running down the road at 55 mph is not a little pop it sounds like a tire blow out

    Hi buddy I got the same truck but 2000… It really is a very reliable, resistant and durable vehicle. I have traveled all over the country with it, I have pulled heavy trailers and it has never let me down, the spark plug thing is true, it has done it 2 times after 10 years with it... but I have now a P1633 what should I do? thank you

    Question: Do the 2002 have that spark plug issue?
