The only problem I ever had with mine was a rubber hose under the intake manifold dry rotted and caused a vacuum leak.
I replaced it with silicone hose and no more issues.
Man, that V10 had awesome torque.
Anybody up for a random meme dump?

Other than constantly adding oil, I don’t think my dad ever had a single issue with it.
Had a 2wd version of that same truck. Bought it new and kept it for 2 years. Damn thing had no torque but that engine would sing like a sewing machine! And it would definitely light the tires up on demand!
Torque? What were you smoking besides rubber fumes (Ahhhh, the smell when American muscle meats dry asphalt)????
2000 Ford 6.8l V-10, 310 horsepower at 4,250 rpm and 425 lb-ft of torque at 3,250 rpm
Vs
2000 5.9 Cummins I6, Manual Transmission horsepower: 235 hp at 2,700 rpm torque: 460 lb-ft at 1,600 rpm
Sad thing is I remember the '87 Ford Crew Cab 350 Dually we had when I was in my late teens could have probably out towed both of them going up a hill with heavy trailer. It was putting out about the same numbers as the Cummins witha slightly higher RPM for max torque.
It had massive torque compared to any truck I had before it.
I got rid of it because it was WAY more truck than I needed.
The heaviest thing I ever towed with it was around 6K and it towed that effortlessly.
I dug around a bit and here is the boat right before putting it in the water, and my tires before $50 of rubber was removed.
Uphills are easy, keep the clutch in, in 1st gear, and switch to the gas from the break really fast, and rev it to at least 3k. Guaranteed to never stall
If you "switch to the gas from the break really fast", you'll break something at 3K!
Don’t worry, British kids still having this pleasure. My daughter especially.

All depends how fast you let the clutch outIf you "switch to the gas from the break really fast", you'll break something at 3K!
