Interesting video and you've confirmed a few things i've thought since I bought my Ranger in 2020 with the 10R80. That there is the propensity of the valves to either get hung up or slow down, even with the fairly nice filter on board. I've been preaching early and often fluid changes to keep debris out of the valve bodies and I have also (incoming controversy) been using Lubegard Platinum since 10,000 miles. (1oz per qt of changed fluid). I know additives get a ton of flak, and that we really shouldn't need one, but several people have tried it and reported positive results. I practice 10k drain and fills on the transmission, although I feel 30k might be enough, I'm in it for the long haul and I tow heavy quite a bit. (Of course, this does nothing for the hard-part failures) Ford is just chasing their tails with all of the reprogramming trying to get them to shift right once they've been contaminated. Good vid!!
I purchased a new 2024 Super Duty with the 6.8 gas engine. I believe it has the 10R100 transmission. It appears to shift just fine. It goes from one gear to the next just very smoothly. The issue that I'm experiencing is that (in certain gears), when I'm driving at a constant and consistent speed and I take my foot off the gas to let it coast for a moment, then put my foot back on the gas, it does this clunky pop and jerk. Kinda like there's too much slop or slack in the drive line somewhere. I'm noticing this primarily in 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th gears. 5th gear being the worst gear it does this in. (So far). Sometimes it's a slight pop and jerk. But sometimes it's a hard pop and jerk. Usually the hard pops are in 5th. I've taken it to Ford 3 times, and they swear there's nothing mechanically wrong with the transmission, that it is all program issues. However, they've ran program updates 3 times on this thing, and it's still doing the same thing. It's very discouraging that ford is acting like this is perfectly ok. In your opinion and experience, what's your thoughts on what's going on with this transmission?
my 10r80 blew up the day i got it. was in drive and wouldn’t move in all gears. warranty said the clutch got stuck open. needed a new front support assembly, a clutch frictions and steels and filter. still doesn’t shift at wot. I like your offerings but other people rate their 10r80s for more power and they cost less. I’m looking for more information on a 10r80 that performs at the 1800hp level and possibly a pure drivetrain solutions converter. I look forward to you guys putting out more info on high hp 10rs👍🏽
Dealer tech/Personal truck 2020, Had a harsh downshift on my 10R140/ 6.7L when cold at 60k wouodnt hold 4th gear on downshift and instantly slam into 3rd almost throwing you into the windshield once every drive cycle usually around 100-150 TFT. Went to “overhaul” valve body per TSB didn’t find much nor a sticking valve or any scoring but I threw a new one at it anyways & It’s been great ever since…. Normally we see a lot more issues on the gas trucks especially and 10R80s with shifted CDF bushings. The diesel 10R’s seem to be a lot less problematic and smoother shifting.
They are definitely less complicated 😅, however the new technology can be irritating but it is very cool to see how they engineered it and the ideas they came up with!
So are there any valve body upgrades for the gmc 10l?

I need a 800hp unit for my 2021 powerstroke with compounds! Sent you guys an email!

Great info but couldn’t sit through it because of the annoying background music.
Th400 transmission is better 😆

@wpdevelopments I agree 👍 😆
