Hey Pappy, any ideas how the V-10 would do up here in the Colorado Rockies? I live at 9K feet and if you look at my past posts about my 2008 F-350, I've already blown a motor (20K miles) and continue to have continuous regen / DPF issues! I've always been a diesel fan but I've had it and really considering going back to a gasser! Just wondering how it'll do at altitude pulling hay and cattle? Heaviest load would be 200 small squares (13,000 lbs) on my gooseneck flat bed trailer.
If my lemon law dispute goes through, I'm going to really consider building a V-10 with a Bradford built flatbed like I have now. Is the 4.3 gears the way to go and wondering out load if I should stay with the 20" wheels, they have been great to haul with so far.
I'm assuming that I can't get a hand shaker anymore either....
You seem to be pretty up to speed on the V-10, So I'd appreciate any input that you might have, as well as the rest of you that have owned the V-10!
Thanks Fella's, cheers from The Colorado High Country! 
Leo
