Several people came up to me during the RV show to ask me what my experience has been with the Ford V-10 engine, including two who asked me if I’d ever come down a steep grade in low gear, had the check engine light go on, and found myself stalling while idling, with the engine going back to normal behaviour after sitting for a bit…

Um. Yes.

I was told that the light would eventually go off on its own after the truck had run ‘normally’ for a while, and it has, but to be prepared for it coming back on periodically with mechanics not being able to find a real problem to solve.

So it seems that what happened on the Ice Fields Parkway is ‘normal’ for a Ford V-10?!

More normality like that and I’ll return to my former opinion that Ford means ‘Found on road, dead’!!!
