Ford V-10 mods
I just bought a 2000 Ford V-10 Superduty. I see some do the Y-pipe mod. Any others you would recommend?

The 2000's don't get the flutter as far as I know.
5w-20 is fine if you stay within its rated loads. With the miles I have (401,000) I run heavier oil in the summer, either 5w30 or preferably 0w-40 (0w40 has about the same "cold" viscosity in typical NW temps). 0W-40 give me the lowest oil consumption (~1 qt/3,000 miles vs 2,000 miles with 5w20) combined with the smoothest startup. 5w30 gives just a little more growl in cold weather. I'm running 5W20 right now since I'm sure I'll need another oil change before spring, and with my commute right now I don't want to push the oil change intervals. If I'm primarily towing, and running the good stuff, I'll go as far as 12,000 miles between changes.
