They don't call it a 6-leaker for nothing. The MOST reliable engine/tranny for a pickup truck is still the Ford V-10 and Torqueshift tranny. In the past 3 years, NO TSB's, so go figure. Your problem will be finding one that is for sale, new or used. If you are really serious about getting one, you'd be better off just to order a new one rigged the way you want it. That's what I did. If you tow much, get the 4.33 rear, otherwise the 4.10, which is what I have, will work just fine. Once you get a V-10, you won't look back, and you'll wonder why you didn't make the switch to a big gasser sooner.
