The E450 V10 is 'known' for fuel pump failures.
I battled what you are going thru with 4 different mechanics while I was traveling on the road. All did something or replaced something and charged me for it and I still had the same problems down the road.
I finally pulled into a Ford dealership with it and the first thing they brought out was a pressure test equipment for the fuel pump. Mine needed a fuel pump. Not like the old days when they just stopped working and you knew. Mine was ok in the am and then it would heat up and cause the problems. The fuel pump test will tell you one way or the other. Takes all of about 10 minutes for them to hook up and tell you the great news you need a fuel pump. :(
I would replace the fuel filters and then run it over to Ford and have the fuel pump tested and/or the codes run. Before you drive yourself crazy trying to track down the problem yourself. Seein' as the fuel pump is 'inside' the fuel tank nowadays. So you can't get at yourself. :R
Just call your local Ford dealer and ask where their truck dealership is located. All Ford car dealers will have a truck dealership somewhere close by in the same town. They will work on the RV.
I had mine done around Bishop, GA. maybe Monroe not sure but it only was a half hour away from my CG in Bishop. Don't know how close your are to them but they were one a great FORD truck shop! I had pets on board and the manager even offered to bring the pets into his air conditioned office during the repairs. Good luck.
