New 10 speed on an 1st gen

[Bregsraptor]

Has anyone heard of someone trying to put the new 10 speed transmission in an older Ford or a raptor.

How much programing would it take if possible

I think that would be the best thing to help with the fight against the new ones without having to get one. V8 sound all day no puke V6 sound

ya bro, that sound is awful

Why do you feel like you have to "fight the new ones?" Each generation has its + and -.

Because the new ones are definitely faster and a lot to do with it is the 10 speed. I just think if we could get a 10 speed in a old raptor we could give it a run for it's money

Or you could just slap on a super charger.....?

The new truck is also is made out of paper thin aluminum that has been used by the military to make pots and pans.

I don't know for sure but I think the hesitation would be similar to why there aren't any engine swaps. We don't know just how integrated the engine and trans functions are so nobody messes with it so they don't lose the 'Raptor' electronic goodies.

edit: If someone could tell me for certain that I could do an engine swap and still have all the ORM, etc, I dump the 6.2 in favor of a larger displacement LS in a second.

as funny as i find the question and reason i will refrain from ***** and point out a few things.
it would take alot more the the 10 speed to balance the performance. gen 2 is lighter by 600-1000 lbs. instead of thinking the tranny is an issue, just boost your gen 1. super charge it. do some weight reduction. add a cage. long travel. and step into trophy truck territory.

hate to say this or type it but i am to old to try to prove shit about a ride anymore.

you can do anything with enough time and money.

I don't disagree with the sentiment of your post but they are only 500lbs apart.

The all-new 2017 F-150 RAPTOR. Use of advanced materials help it weigh in up to 500 lbs. lighter than its predecessor.
