There was some discussions on these two transmission a while back about them being the same. Here's a tear down video of these two transmissions. Comment at the end states the 10L will be the next 68 so get ready for the work load.

Enjoy...

How many miles?


106,000. It’s always been a dedicated tow vehicle.

Mine and my dad's 68 were flawless, shifted crisp and firm. We both ran the hell out of our trucks during the learning process and it paid off!

Eh, it’s ok. I don’t have the most love for the 68 but I have to watch what I say in case my truck is listening…because she’s running like a champ having cracked 100k miles, including her 68! All 100k been deleted/tuned, with too big of tires and too small of gears.
I would have never intentionally bought a truck with a 68 prior to this one and would not again. But sometimes a deal is a deal and you don’t get everything perfect like you’d want. And the truck deal was not worth passing up due to what is bolted in behind the engine!

Ford had some bad torque converters in the gas trucks Completely unnacceptable, but Ford does have a reputation for trans issues on first year trucks for the most part.

Stange, Ford mechanics say otherwise.

More of the same

Guy pissed off with his FORD

Fishy, more bad news on the 10R

Seriously, you should look into your own back yard before you stick your nose into others....


Oh snap.
