Update: as the weather got colder, shifting became completely unacceptable. Everything from violent 1-2 shifts that felt like the driveshaft snapped to hanging in first gear to dropping into neutral briefly between 1 and 2. The dealer did the update flash and it is now acceptable. It's still not like the previous 6 speed but I can live with it.

We got the 6R100 Torqshift G (upgraded 6R80) when the 10-spd came out in the F150. They shifted the production capacity of the 6-spd to gasser F250s when the 10-spd hit your market. The 6R100 is a sweet tranny overall.
Those of us driving the "new" 6.2L F250 trucks thank you for your donation!

I have a 2017 F53 chassis with the 6.8 V10 and a 6R140 transmission. The 6R140 shift quality is on a par with an Allison. Unfortunately, neither one is available in a pick up.

To stop the AutoStart/stop I bought this. Not exactly cheap but now it stays off unless I press the button to turn it back on.
