I bet once these trucks are out for awhile you could get it done for 7-10k. Or better yet maybe gear vendor will come out with something. Then I could have a 12 speed...

Really? You think it will cost over 40k to do a conversion on a tranny. Time will tell I guess.

I get what you're saying. But say a guy 2-5 years from now wants to add a 10 speed and can do it for 7-10k instead of spending 40-50 on a new truck. That way one doesn't have to fork out all the cash again for a new truck when the current one is fine other than the want of a 10 speed.

I drive truck for a living. The tranny's job is to get ya and what you have with u from point A to B and back ect.
Tho I drive them often , I've never been bit by the allure of an 18 speed or a 5 and a 4 ect. Give me a 6 speed automatic with a good strong , settable, Jake . And enough horse power and I'm very happy.
One of the biggest draws of the modern Super Duty is the brutally dependable 6 speed tranny. To me at least.

If it's better power/performance, wouldn't swapping diff gears help with that at a much lower cost and headache?
