2000 Ford E450 V10 Uphill Power Mods for Mountain Towing

Called three different YouTube tutorials claiming to boost my 2000 Ford E450 V10's uphill towing power, but now my motorhome struggles even worse in the mountains.

I need to understand which modifications will provide measurable uphill towing improvements versus those that offer minimal gains.

What's concerning is that water was dripping underneath, which seemed unusual for such a new vehicle. Are these exhaust leaks common, or could they indicate a deeper issue? I want to understand if this is a typical problem or something I should be more worried about before potentially making modifications. …more
