Will an 06 trans work in an 08?

[protraxrptr17]

Both trucks are automatic, cab/chassis.
I know the converters are different. Can I just get a new converter for an 08 and put it in the 06 trans?

 

[6.0 p-stroke]

Yes, I believe they're interchangeable minus the converter or flex plate.

 

[protraxrptr17]

So can I just use the flex plate from the 6.0?

 

[6.0 p-stroke]

I'm pretty sure you can.

 

[Dzchey21]

Yeah just swap the flex plate and you're good to go

also make sure that 08 has the remote filter because the 06 won't have the in pan style like the late 08's

 

[Mark Kovalsky]

You can swap the pan and install the late '08 internal filter. That's a better option than the remote filter.

Brain pick you mark
If I'm not mistaken the flex plates are the same as bolt patterns they may be balanced different weights.
The converters are different why?
The 08-10 5r110 has a deeper pan

I half to say the external filter was a piss poor design.

 

[Zmann]

the pan isn't really much deeper other than the pocket needed for the new style filter

Lol I had a brain fart the converted on the 6.0 were a 8 hole it's been awhile since iv pulled a 6l out

I don't think they have a different balance, but that really wasn't my area.

I don't think they are different. It could be, I was already gone from Ford when the '08 came out.

The 08-10 5r110 has a deeper pan

Only a little bit, to clear the larger filter.

I half to say the external filter was a piss poor design.

Why? I have no equity in it, that wasn't my area, either. :redspotdance:

 

[Zmann]

on the flip side
5r's with the external filter weren't plagued with filtration issues

but I went with the inpan filter myself LOL

6 nuts on a 6.0.

8 nuts on a 6.4

 

[protraxrptr17]

Thats good. Thanks for the help. Gonna put it back tgether today.

Like above yes it will. Id change the converter before flex plate. The 08 has a paper filter in the pan instead of a screen type filter. 08s also have a 5 gear od planetary compared to the 06 4 gear. This also changes tooth and spline count throughout the od set so everything from the planetary to the intermediate need to be changed. Its not needed to work but def stronger than the 4 gear. Ask me how i know lol

 

[Zmann]

there was actually 3 styles of filter used
external like an o7-
an external inline located under the trans near the converter

and the last in pan version

 

[blk350on20s]

Yes but there was always that screen type in for a pickup for the pump no?

 

[Zmann]

yes all the ones with an external had a screen in the pan
