Tran filter location

I took my newly purchased 09 F250 to the dealer and had them flush the trans. I was looking underneath and never saw the external filter housing.

Does the 5.4 only use the internal filter ?

Are they only on the diesel or heavier trucks?

They didnt ask me if I wanted to change the filter and I did not mention it. Im wondering if i should have been more specific.

In 2009 there was no external filter. The internal filter was upgraded in 2008 to be superior to the external filter, so the external was deleted.

It's OK, just not needed.
