TorqShift
I am thinking of upgrading and looking at a '05 Chateau E350. It has the V-10 and I want to confirm it has the TorqShift. It has the transmission code of "T" on the build sticker.
Can anyone confirm? A web search has not reviled anything yet.
Thanks,
Michael

I am looking at this van long distance. The dealer is very helpful and I have a picture of the build sticker on the door jam. That is where the "T" code came from. I ran the vin in the link above and it did not list the transmission. The dealer advertises it as a 5-speed. I am assuming it is but want to be sure. If it has the tow/haul on the shifter is that confirmation? Trying to get it all figured out before I fly across the country to pick it up.
Thanks,
Michael

The only automatic it could be is the TorqShift. The last year for the 4R100 was 2004.
The VIN does not have any information about the transmission.

I got an oasis report today and it does have a TorqShift. Now after reading some more on this site I found out that after '99 not all E350's had full floating rear axles. Without physically looking at the diff is there any way to tell from the axle code (34) or from the equipment? V-10, tow package, Torqshift?

axle code 34 is "34 — 3.73 ratio, non-limited slip (Dana)" per the ford service manual.
For full float vs semi-float, you will have to look at the rear hub. If there are 8 bolts (not lugnuts, bolts) then its full float. If there is a dust cap or a concave hub area then its semi-float.
