- Snowman9000ExplorerFinal update, I think it had a small exhaust leak on one side that would have accounted for the sounds I was hearing.

I believe the 10 speed was introduced into their Raptor pickup models. I have heard of a 6 speed in the bigger platforms. My Jeep rubicon

way to get decent mileage out of a motor home is to never use it.
Say wut???
exactly, too much coffee on an empty stomach that day. - Snowman9000ExplorerYeah I soon figured out it was a six speed. I knew I had read about the ten speed but forgot it was in the class A chassis. It is a good trans. MPG of the truck is good too. Power seems comparable to the 6.0 V8 of my Chevy Sunseeker. This one runs higher revs at a given road speed. Whether in TH mode or not.
Although, with only 21K miles, this thing sounds horrendous on a cold start. Does it have solid lifters??? It clatters, there is a loud roar probably the fan, and the exhaust is loud. But after a minute it’s okay. I do hear what sounds like lifters when it down shifts. - carringbExplorer2021 E-series is 7.3L V8 only. But they offer an “economy” tune for fleets, which u-haul likely orders.
All have the 6R140 TorqueShift 6-speed. - LwiddisExplorer IIIts a supply problem I understand.
- DrewEExplorer IIIt has a six speed transmission. The ten speed is not (and has not) been available for the E series chassis.
