I see that the 6.0 hp/tq specs are alot higher for the pickups than they were for our '05 E350 cargo van with 6.0/5spd auto.
The vans have less cooling ability than the trucks, so the engines were detuned to produce less heat.
I know the engine bay in our 6.0 van was very tiny and cram packed with all the stuff on that engine. So crammed, that Ford ousted the batteries from under the hood and mounted them under the van body, alongside the right frame rail, under the sliding side door.
I heard the vans have a smaller intercooler than the pickups too? Could barely see anything in front of that van. It was a good engine though, never had a problem with it in the E350 and the 5R110 tranny was great.
