The 5R110 was used on later model V10's and the 6R140 is used on F650 and F750 with the V10. You may have better luck matching up a newer Ford transmission than trying to get the Allison to work.

The Allison uses an external TCM, and it actually works fine with the stock Ford PCM because once you can select "Manual Transmission" from the Ford programming menu, it simply turns off its TCM.
