BD PRESSURELOC?

Sterling6.7 · Oct 29, 2022

Is this controller worth adding? I have had a long term shift “squeal” on the 3-4 shift under heavy throttle.

Transmission Pressure Controller Ford 6.7L Power Stroke 6R140 2011-2019 - 1031320

The 6R140 Pressure Controller for 11-17 Ford Powerstroke 6.7L pick-ups delivers up to 300psi line pressure inside the transmission, for 76% more holding powe...

Anybody?

Its a band-aid fix, if you want the squeal to go away throw this in it.

Or this. Motorcraft xr-16

or get good tuning...or a good trans

Thanks guys. Already did the goo in a tube, but not the XR-16. Maybe the tuning is what needs to be adjusted.

A new trans would be REALLY nice, but I have a hard time justifying the expense with the amount of miles I put on. If I was going to replace the trans, I would really like to go to a 10R.

10rs are horrible.

slow in reverse due to incredibly low gear, cold emission protection so wont engage correctly (feels like a 5k stall converter) until a minimum trans temp has been reached, some shifts are inherently awkward simply because there is so much logic involved, extremely advanced torque management, generally mushy feel due to always being in a certain rpm band-you dont get any lug. To top it all off the final drive ratio is so close to the 6r its of no benefit on the hwy. Bear in mind most of the characteristics are to manage emissions, and just marketed otherwise to the user for acceptance.

That sounds fantastic.
