The way we found out that our chassis is an F53 is my sister (previous owner) keeps everything, so we still had the sticker that was on the window. They bought it new, and at the top of it says F-350 . When I went to the Ford dealer I took that with me to get an overflow jug as this one was cracked.. the parts department manager marked at the top of the sticker F53 and told me that anytime I needed a part to refer to that. He also said that knowing the vin# sometimes help to get the correct part.
Hope this info will help a little!

Just wanted to let you know I appreciate the info you originally gave me.

Not a problem, hope he calls you back. He answered my call and wanted $130 plus shipping, and I got the part on ebay for $75. Good luck!

I found the part and it is on the way.. I spoke with Comfort Air this morning, he wanted $59.99 plus shipping, so I declined. I called RV Masters in Houston, sure nuff they had it, and it is on the way for $30.70 plus shipping.. all together for less than what he wanted for the part..
Again, thanks for all the help..

Welcome to irv2 forums. If the V10 was well maintained (oil changes and filters etc) it isn't even close to it's first rebuild. On the Ford forums there are a couple with over 500,000mmi and one that just turned 250,000 mi without major problems, if they're telling the truth. The one with the 500K has had a transmission rebuild.
If there were any major problems with the one you are looking at, they would have shown up and been repaired long before now.
If you should buy it, have the spark plugs changed by a Ford shop, yes it may look expensive, but much cheaper in the long run to have it done properly. With that mileage the transmission should also be serviced if it hasn't
We bought ours with 102,000 miles on it (an ex-rental) it now has 122,000 on the clock.
Cheers
Willey

New ford group
Hi, we are new to this site but not to ford F53's. On our 3rd F53 gasser and have had no problems. DP's sound like to much trouble for the little traveling we do. We are also only pulling max 26,000 lbs. We now own a 2008 35' class A windsport (our 2nd Windsport) with 3 slides. We think this one is it for us. We are having 4 Koni shocks, Safe T Plus steering and rear trak bar installed. Have installed air extenions and HawksHead TPMS system. Do oil and grease plus minor things ourself.

We have a Ford F250 7.3L PSD and pull a 30' 5er and am considering buying a 2005 Winne Aspect 26A with a V10. At present I use synthetic oil in the PSD and can extend the change intervals to 10,000 miles or more according to Blackstone Lab reports. My question is -- what intervals are others using by putting synthetic oil in their gasser? I know the V10 turns at a higher RPM and that may make a difference as well as higher temps.

Hi I am new to the Ford world (kinda, once upon a time I had a 1993 Taurus wagon). The in laws had a GM dealership when still alive, and Ford products were not allowed in the family.
I am the brand new owner of a 2001 Four Winds Hurricane 29D that looks and drives like new. I hope that I will get some real good gas mileage with it because of its rather low weight.
