Virginia. The 7.3L Ford engine replaces the V10 which is a good engine but fuel hungry, loud, and needs high revs to reach it best torque. The 7.3 was designed to have a lot of low rev torque similar to a diesel engine characteristics. It is also better on fuel consumption than the V10. May 24, 2021.
The Ford v10 is coupled to a Ford transmission, 4, 5, or 6 speeds depending on the year. The GM 8.1L V8 is usually coupled to the Allison 1000 in pick-ups or Workhorse motorhome chassis, but in the van chassis used for Class C's I suppose it could be one of the car trannys. The "bullet-proof" Allisons are the big boy models like the 3000 and ...
The 3-valve V10 is similar in horsepower to the 8.1L V8, but the V8 runs at lower rpms to produce it. Many people find that lower rpms (less noise) to be less stressful on the occupants. Or another way to look at it, some V10 owners are unwilling to utilize all the power it has available due to fear of high rpms and engine noise.
Joined. Sep 30, 2009. Posts. 566. I have a 2004 Fleetwood MH with a Ford, Triton V10. The starting battery has the markings F06 which I believe indicates the battery is at least four years old. Last night the battery went out and i had to jump it to get the engine started. I was told by a friend the battery was past due for replacement.
FYI. "One of the main faults with the early V10 engines (1999 – 2005) was that the spark plugs could blow out of the cylinder head. Ford used a cast iron engine block with an overhead cam aluminium cylinder head design, that uses centrally mounted spark plugs and waste spark ignition." Jun 1, 2024. #13.
4. I have a 2000 Year ford V10 chassis on a thor hurricane. The RV has 25,000 miles. When we recently took a trip from New York to Nashville TN, I noticed that the engine surges a bit at idle. Even driving off from a stand still ( like a red light ), the engine idle surging causes some minor surging of the transmission and drive-train and ...
My rig will dynamically engine brake and hold at about 45 to 50 MPH on a 6% grade with my loading. The engine is usually at 4500+ RPM. On ocassion the RPM's are over 5000. The Triton V10 really works well in the upper RPM ranges. On steeper grades I have to ocassionally use brakes to hold it at 45 or so.

West Palm Beach, FL. Agree 100% with Ernie. Horsepower is horsepower, and the 8.1L V8 and the 3-valve 6.8L V10 produce pretty much the same amounts of it (340 and 360, respectively). V10's rev higher than V8's, and gas engines rev much higher than diesels for the same hp, but once at their rated hp its all the same.
15. Our first RV was a 2013 35' gasser, made by Coachmen, with the same V10 engine. We towed a 4door Jeep Wrangler with that RV without issue. We did go slower than cars and diesels up hills, but since I was always on vacation for those drives, it never bothered me. My only concern was the loud engine noise in that RV.
