Has anyone swapped one in a 6.0 just curious if it's possible or if anyone has info on doing it

Would need an adapter plate since bell housing is totally different...custom flex plate...plus they are a fair amount larger than a 5r especially the bell housing. Would be a cool swap though...don't know if a pcs could control it right or not.

Of course it's possible. If you give me enough time and money I can install ANY transmission in ANY truck. Is it practical? Not even slightly. I'll bet you could buy a brand new loaded 2016 F-550 or two for what this would cost to install the trans and make it shift. Will a PCS control this trans? No.

I think a well built 4r100 would be way more beneficial and much cheaper. The 4r100 has a lot of history and has proven to be a stout unit.

And has already been done a few times so parts are more readily available.

Yeah. The biggest issue is no aftermarket controller that will operate it as of now.

And the 6R140 is so much more complicated to operate than a 4R100 I doubt there will ever be an aftermarket controller that can operate it.

if there are guys running a 5R110 behind a 12v Cummins using a 6.4 TCM, I don't see why you couldn't run a 6R140 with the factory TCM as long as it was tuned correctly.

with that said, I would NOT attempt it

I'd sooner put a 5R behind a 6.7 than I'd put a 6R140 behind a 6.0
