Trans.Question

Hello All,
I just bought a Ford 2006 F250 diesel which has the 6.0 in her with 86,000 mile. I know the 6.0 may have problems with EGR from what I read, but thats for a other day. I have no manual with the truck, so I,am trying to find out what transmission is in it?
Thanks in advance

It is the TorqShift transmission, sometimes called the 5R110W. That's a TorqShift in my avatar.

Try it both ways. Pick the one you like better.

The transmission was designed to work fine in either mode. You will probably get better mileage with the TOW/HAUL not turned on, but better performance, especially downhill, with the TOW/HAUL turned on.

The Tow/Haul button does not lock out overdrive in the 5R110W transmission. The button reprograms the transmission.
