05 f350 tranny

[mdcody]

i have an 05 f350 with a 6.0L i was wondering what tranny the truck has

[20046.0PSDX]

Is it an automatic or a hand shaker?

Amp

it's an auto

It's a 5R110 5 speed made by Ford. It's based on the old 4 speed 4r100, but it's a much improved design and very strong. It's a very good tranny capable of handling lots of power.

is it good and will it hold for snow plowing

I've seen a lot of 6.0s with 5R110s with plows on them, and I don't see any reason it wouldn't be fine. Just make sure you've got trans temp and EGT gauges, and keep an eye on the coolant temp. Plowing is hard on any truck.

I'm sure there are some guys in here with plows that could answer your question better than me.

I'm on tranny 5 within 50K miles. Truck goes in monday to get the new problem fixed.

I think there's some sort of TSB for people that plow. The 5r110 didn't like the continuos forward/reverse. I think there's a fix though.

That was the why my 4th one got rebuilt. It didn't even make it 5K miles.

Hopefully this gets posted before someone gets defensive. To start a lot of people here love there 5r110. For me it hasn't proven itself. I've been through 5 and still have the same problems. 5 tranny's is unexceptable and I talk with the service manager yesterday and we decided the tranny won't be replaced but everything else is going to be looked over. It's never left me stranded but it has pissed me off a lot.
