I have the 00 6.8 V10 in my F350. Its thirsty... what do they say passes everything except a gas station. Its pulled some pretty heavy loads, if I was doing that every day Id want a diesel, but I dont so Im happy with this.
Regarding the spark plug / coils (COP), my truck started doing weird shifts a couple years ago. Seemed a bit weak but would be down shifting too soon and then acting a bit erratic. I thought it was the transmission. Took to my real mechanic, (opposed to the shade tree guy who I like but know his limitations). Guy says probably a coil dead, the hooked it up and indeed there was two out. He said these plugs have never been out have they? Leave it overnight and well change them all out tomorrow morning and COPs. 2 pm the next day it was ready to go for $750. He said theyve done so many its pretty easy now for them.
Last year I started smelling coolant but no leaks. A bit low power but wasnt hauling much. Took it in and he said the intake manifold was leaking coolant into a cylinder. They replaced that plug again too. $680 but had to wait an extra day to get the gasket in.
He did find a couple broken exhaust manifold studs. He said he could fix them but it could be more trouble than its worth. It ticks a bit while it warms up and then I guess it tightens up as it warms up. Eventually it may need to be done.
Thats all Ive done to this engine. I think Im just over 200 thousand miles. Now the brakes are another story for this... very expensive. The two front rotors are one piece with hubs... $480 each with the best discount I could get. Last time I turned them but they will be too thin the next time. Still been a great hard working truck.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
