Hi. I have a 2006 f250 6.0. Transmission is screwed in it so I’m buying a new one. Does anybody have any recommendations on what brand to buy and where to buy from?

So a remanufactured wouldn’t be a good idea?

A few of us do not have a good history using Ford-remanufactured products. However, not all remanufactured products are bad, and good luck trying to buy a new trans.
Check with Cory (CNCFab) for a good reman.

I have a locally rebuilt unit now and it is what I should have done the first time instead of Fords reman

"Over the years, Alma Products has supplied parts to companies worldwide, including Ford, Navistar, GM, Chrysler, Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, Case New Holland, AutoZone, Pep Boys, Visteon, Daikin, Valeo, Fenwick, etc.
In 1998 Alma Products Company was acquired by a private equity firm, and along with RECON and ATCO, became part of the JAAI Group of companies. In 2006 the JAAI Group became ETX.
In 2007 ETX launched a new product line: Remanufactured Automatic Transmissions. Since this launch, Alma Products Company has become a leader in the remanufactured automotive transmission industry. Alma Products supplies both heavy-duty and light-duty remanufactured transmissions to a broad range of customers.
In 2014 Alma Products Company was acquired by the Transtar Holding Company. Transtar Industries is the global leader in transmission and drivetrain-related solutions. Transtar Industries is dedicated to providing its customers with outstanding service, offering the broadest product catalog and best-in-class distribution of quality OE and aftermarket parts and premium remanufactured products."
In other words, since 1998, ALMA has gone through the holding company game of being bought and sold, reducing the costs and increasing the profit by taking the quality out of the parts, reducing R&D, and experienced management. Sounds like Franklin Power Products, the supplier of my engine, and my old friction material company, too. We had several changes, none for the better.

when I bought my Ford reman 6 years ago I did my Due diligence and had all the ALMA reference material available
they put up a good show and each and every unit was to be tested on a dyno
what they fail to tell you is if you give them a good clean unit you may get an older year case and they will spray silver over the crap they can't remove ,, then they I am sure they replace the minimum parts and use the cheapest parts available

The same with Frankin Power Products. Although, I don't think Ford still has the video on YouTube.

I went back on FTE to when I originally linked to the video. No more ....
I would have removed that video from public display too. Where the work was being done, It was worse than a 1970's shop where I worked part-time in college. The "QC" that they promoted may have looked good on paper, but as with anything, it depends on the people actually doing the work.
Misground crankshaft, misground camshaft; one block deck is poorly machined, and the other is not machined and is sandblasted from the plasma cylinder-welding process. And let's not forget a loose bolt in the engine.
It's as though it was an engine destined to be sent to a vo-tech school so the students could hunt for what was bad.

Crap, now I'm all elevated again. Luckily, I don't have a cat.

Does anyone know if the 5r110w transmission can be removed without lifting the truck?

It only has a 2” leveling kit. My tires help it to sit a little higher cause 275/65r20’s.
How hard is it to remove?

If someone came up with a ground to frame value, it might help you. I can't. It actually might be a good "tech" point.
When should I flush it and how? I’ve never done this before.
Ok I’ve found someone that said they would rebuild it for me for 3000 if I remove it and take it to him. He said it’ll take one week from the time he gets it. He said he’ll upgrade it with billet stuff and whatever else too. Is that a good price? After it’s done and I install it does the truck need flashing?

What someone says you're getting " billet and it is 3k for a rebuild" I may be a little worried

He said a couple of things he puts in it are billet but yes he’s charging 3000 to rebuild and upgrade I guess. He said it’ll take him one week to do it. I read somewhere about the center shaft or something like that has been a problem with those transmissions. He didn’t mention anything about that to my son.
