Ford V10 with 4 speed or 5 speed transmission
Looking at my first class A. I've settled in on a used 29 or 30 foot Winnebago. It looks like they changed from a 4 speed to a 5 speed in 2006. I'm wondering what difference I would expect to experie...

I have never had a stock V10, mine has the Banks Power Pack with Trans Control. I have read here that without some tweeking the old four speed trans on cruise control there was a lot of gear searching on very slight grades. I run on CC a lot and don't have that problem. I am very happy with my 2001 engine.
Yes the stock program that ford supplies does not do anything for the performance. I also had a 5star tune on my 02 V-10 Excursion. Performed the way it should have from the factory. However the Ford cruise control is very lazy. It lets too much mph drop before the throttle opens. By then it’s too late and it’s kicking down to get the speed back up . This was even with the tune. I learned to watch the road and give it a bit of throttle to keep it from kicking down.
