Ford Diesel trucks
We are in the market for a Ford Super Duty F350. And, I'm afraid the V10 gasser is going to retire. I have really enjoyed our current truck, but we just bought a GD Solitude which weighs 2500 lbs. mor...

Ford has used their own automatic transmissions for a long time. The (not too reliable) E4OD and 4R100 are very Ford transmissions.
2002 through 2010 torqueshift 5 speed 5R110) is entirely different from 2011 through 2019 6 speed (6R140). The 5R110 became very reliable after the diode was fixed. But the 6R140 became necessary to handle the higher torque of the 6.7. First year had some shifting problems mostly fixed with electronics flashes and a shift solenoid recall, but several early torque converters were also replaced due to initial problems. I agree that Ford transmission 2002 and after have been reliable. Eliminating 2011 eliminates the more serious initial transmission problems and eliminating 2012 eliminates some of the initial engine corrections (none very serious). I have a 2012 and got the recalls--also did some installation of improved parts at my own expense.
