I really like the 10 speed in my Expedition MAX. My 3rd favorite transmission. The cam shaft rattle the engine has, not so much......
At least they have parts available to fix the truck. Kind of surprised that is the case with the way things are today.
Kid at work here has a new (20 or 21 model) Ecoboost F150. Said he has an inital rattle on cold start. Dlr said cam phasers, although he feels it's not indicative of (his past) cam phaser issues on a newer 5.0.
I'm with ya (same trans as the Ford 10 speed).
As far as slushboxes go, I still put the ZF 8HP in first place. Any trans that can do what that one can do, deserves a gold medal.
I still, 15 years later can't think of anything in a diesel that betters the old Allison behind the Dmax.
And this 10 speed is generally spot on and virtually impossible to confuse. Only minor gripe is it doesn't downshift aggressively enough (in grade braking situations) in any mode. And tow/haul and sport mode are not a meaningful enough departure from the "normal" shifting to warrant the added expense of the switches and buttons and programming.
Ford 6R140 is a very close fourth place if not higher.
No experience with the HD 10 speeds and not enough time in an Aisin equipped truck to compare.
Caveat, haven't driven
