As incredible as it sounds, Ford builds almost a million F-150s a YEAR..... And they've been putting the 10R80 into them for several years now - there are literally MILLIONS of vehicles with this transmission in them.

Sid......I found what I think is a good link to an aftermarket site that sells mods for our transmissions.....here is a link to a good article on how weak the 10R80 is......almost wish I wouldn't have found this....

Ooooh round about 7 months ago they started trying to sell us their intake/T.B spacers.
The dyno sheets they provided in the thread were for a different motor, in a different vehicle.
They got called out for the aforementioned shady AF marketing technique and An individual offered to let them use his truck to do dyno-tests with... to which they replied "oh Hai thanks bro we have our own truck to do the tests with"
Months and months go by..
They still havnt shown us any dyno sheets pertaining to their products on a Ranger.
Ill just say it.. boomba is a complete joke. I'm willing to bet their R&D department is one guy doing his best to copy the products of REPUTABLE companies, changing them just enough to not get sued.
I was supportive of the outfit initially.. but after 6 months of their obvious lack of effort to actually show us what their product does on our vehicle.. I realized the nothing more than your run of the mill shyster factory.

The 10R80 begin shipping in the F150 in 2017. Starting in 2018, the F150 came with a "massive" heat exchanger located at the front of the transmission. See this video at the 4 minute mark.
I suspect that the exchanger is quite expensive., it looks expensive! You think maybe Ford figured something out between 2017 and 2018 when they added it?

Well, it is pretty common knowledge that this transmission doesn't like to be cold, so it kind of makes sense to me.
Given that they started it in 2017, I was curious, so I looked up F-150 sales numbers:
https://fordauthority.com/fmc/ford-...rd-sales-numbers/ford-f-series-sales-numbers/
2022 | 578,881 |
2021 | 726,004 |
2020 | 787,422 |
2019 | 896,526 |
2018 | 909,330 |
2017 | 896,764 |
| Total | 4,794,927 |
That is ONLY F-150s which means there are almost 5 million F-150s with this transmission, let alone the Explorers, Rangers and other vehicles. If there were a significant design flaw in this transmission, I would fully expect that in 5+ million units it would be apparent.

That appears to be nothing more than advertising cloaked as "news" for a law firm honestly. I wouldn't trust anything that is stated on that site.
They are looking to add to their class action lawsuit, which will only enrich the lawyers. That is my take on it.

Yeah, I agree. Then you have this on the other side...

If that article is correct and I counted right, I counted 19 different vehicles the 10R80 is in between Ford and GM. Again, if it really were that bad, you'd be hearing very definite reports of issues. All I've seen is anecdotal and/or sporadic reports of issues, nothing endemic. That has to encompass tens of millions of transmissions.
It does have it warts (in my experience its cold shift behavior is obvious), but overall, I think it is an engineering marvel.
