SD 6 or 7 speed auto trans?

Has anybody heard if a new 6 or 7 speed automatic trans for 2009? With GM having one and Dodge rumored to have one, Ford should be there. It would have been nice to put it out with the 2008 SD (awesome truck). My 2000 F250 has 300K on it and am looking to replace but will wait til 2009 for the 6 speed.

There will be a 6 speed auto (6R140) coming to the SD's. While it is a possibility that it could end up in the '09 model year SD's, it is more likely to be 2010.

Maybe they should be working on a 10 speed. Then it will be as good as my first bike.

Here we go playing catch the rabbit again....

It is true that the 5R110W TorqShift does have 6 forward gears, but only 5 are used during a shift sequence. So technically it is a 5-speed. The 6R140 will be a true 6-speed.

I agree with PowerStrokeHD. In 2010...the SD will get a face-lift, 6R140, and more hp/torque from the 6.4L PSD which will include a new re-designed regen cycle.
