The Ford Triton V10 6.8L is a popular heavy-duty V10 engine used in many trucks, vans, and buses.
It was introduced in 1997, and after several upgrades and variations, it is currently still in use.
The Triton V10 6.8L has two main versions, the 2-valve and 3-valve.
The original 2-valve version had issues with the spark plugs becoming loose and stripping out the threads.
It is recommended to tighten the spark plugs with a torque wrench at ever 50,000 miles.
The 2-valve has plastic valve covers, the 3-valve has aluminum valve covers.
The firing order and cylinder locations are the same for both the 2-valve version and the 3-valve version.
Whichever year the Triton V10 6.8L was built, they all have the same firing order, cylinder locations, and Bank-1 and Bank-2 sides of the engine.
