New member, just bought first motorhome, still have to go pick it up in Atlanta. Did alot of research on web first, really wanted Workhorse chassis 2001 or newer with 22.5 wheels, but could not find one with features we wanted within our budget. After "settling" for a Ford V10 chassis, I came across this thread. Had also considered older diesel, but because I have had no experience with them and not wanting to go through hassle of getting air brake endorsement on my licence, decided to stick with gas for now.
49 odd posts so far and very few posts on V10 problems, other than minor issues like shroud air intake to counteract heavy rain! Workhorse complaints abound! I'm feeling I may have made the right decision. Was worried about V10 because of horror stories about spitting out spark plugs.Lots of these complaints documented, but what are the real #'s? If 200,000 of these engines have been built, (have no idea how many manufactured between 98-04)did 200 have this problem? I'm sure atleast some are caused by improper r and r.
I'm willing to take the gamble. Plugs will probably be the least of my worries!
Best of luck to all
