Looking at a 2012 Gen 1. Question about transmission

[Tony Church]

My truck is a 2010 with 182k on it . I noticed the other day it made a funny noise when it shifted . I was wondering if the new 10r80 would fit back in place of the 6r80 if it gets serious enough to have to be rebuilt or replaced ? Also seems as though I saw somewhere that there was 2 different models of the 10r80 , one they used in cars and light trucks and a stronger one they used in the 250-350 trucks . Anybody work at Ford , know for sure about any of this ?

Even if a 10R80 would bolt up, you would have no way to control it. Your 6R80 uses a TCM integrated into the transmission, the 10R80 is controlled externally by the PCM or TCM, depending on application.

The heavy duty version you’re referencing is the 10R140, which is used in Super Duty trucks and is a completely different transmission.

You're partially right... The super duty 6.2 uses the lighter 10R100 as I recall.

You’re thinking of the 6R100 used in 6.2 F-250 models. There is no 10R100.
