I don't know. I am sure Ford has fixed the problem, but it was a

They fixed it all right. That engine doesn't seem to be available
anymore. They list a 6.2L V8 flex-fuel gasser and a 6.7L V8
diesel.


There are a lot of new RV's on a Ford chassis with the Triton V-10
engine. I believe all the 2013
Georgetown by Forest River, for example, come with the V-10 engine.
Here's an example:

Yes. Since 2007, the heads are now made of a stronger aluminum alloy.
