Ford V10 question
Some time ago I saw a post about improvement to the Ford V10 engine, but I don't remember what year that was. I've searched but can't find anything. Can anyone help?

X-2, I owned a 99 V-10 and I agree with this post!n7bsn wrote:

First (2000 chassis models) got the improved crank, that boasted HP from 295 to 310 (F series)
Then in 2005 the three-valve was introduced (F series only) that boasted power to 362 HP
The 2-valve is still being shipped in E series (at least through 2014)
The 1999 version (first year of the V 10 in the F53 chassis) of the V10 installed in the F53 chassis was 275 hp. In 2000 they upped the Hp to 310. While the 362 hp version was introduced to the F53 chassis in 2005 it was technically a 2006 chassis. Ford ran the 2004 model early into 2006. They skipped the 2005 model year designation and went to the 2006 model year designation when they introduced the 3 valve per cylinder 362 hp version of the V10. In short there was no 2005 model of the F53 chassis. The 2006 model years and newer also include the 5 speed Torque Shift with the Tow/Haul mode.- Yes I am aware that there are several F series chassis. However the only one used for the class A motorhomes is the F53. There is also an F59 stripped chassis that's used for delivery vans.
The original V10's were installed in the F series trucks in the mid 1990's. They only produced 265 hp. There have been over a dozen versions of the V 10 introduced since it's inception. They're used in everything from the E and F series trucks to stationary power plants.
Since this is a Class A motorhome forum we only mentioned the ones used in the F53 class A motorhome chassis. n7bsn wrote:

You are both aware there are more F series chassis then the F53, right?
I am aware but this is a Class A forum where F53 chassis are discussed.
While we're nit picking. You said "First (2000 chassis models) got the improved crank, that boasted HP" How did Ford get more HP by improving the crank?

This is a tuner that will help with a variety of performance issues. I found the transmission changes the most beneficial.
Good luck!
