05 PSD Snow Plow Package

[Cobrajet]

I am looking to replace my 99 PSD with a 05 or 06 I don't want to mess with
the 04 6.0. I am wondering how to tell Ifthe Truck has a snow plow package
and what you get in the package. I am thinking it has stiffer spring but not
sure and does it matter?



Thanks

my 05 has the snow plow package and from what I can tell it's only stiffer springs, you might want to opt for the 06 cause in 05 they had a problem with a pin breaking in tranny form alot of forward and reverse driving

Recall 05B27--2005 TorqShift Transmissions, Trucks with Snow Plow Package:
On trucks built prior to 1-12-05, the snap ring on the low/reverse planetary may become dislodged due to the frequent forward/reverse shifting common when plowing snow. If this occurs, damage to the low/reverse planetary or transmission case may occur. Ford will disassemble the transmission, inspect for damage, and replace the snap ring with a revised part, if no other damage is found. This recall has been extended to 9-30-06, regardless of mileage.

As far as I know The snow plow prep just give u a heavier spring for the front I believe the code is X for the hevier spring.It definetly makes
a diff. when u put a plow on or solve it with a set of Timbern.rubbers

Do they make the Timberins for coil springs or do you have to replace the springs?
