But if you tow heavy, race or sled pull regularly or do crazy stuff like neutral-drops to show off for your friends, the transmission will not last long at all. By that he means that there are people driving around in trucks approaching those power levels on stock transmissions that are working just fine. Both DTS and DPC build and ship components all across the country so even if you’re not local to Georgia you can have them build for your project it will just require some shipping coordination.ĭTS owner David Browning tells us that a stock 5R110 that hasn’t be abused and overheated can handle engines making up to 500 horsepower, but that at that level they’re living on borrowed time.
While in Georgia we also stopped by Diesel Performance Converters (DPC) in McDonough to see what goes into their performance torque converters for the 5R110.
To find out what goes into building a stout 5R110, we made the trip down to Monroe, Georgia, to visit the crew at Diesel Technology Source (DTS) and watch them build what they consider their entry level performance transmission. But like anything else that’s stock, there’s always room for improvement to handle bigger power output. The 5R110 transmission from Ford has backed both 6.0L and 6.4L Power Stroke engines and is generally considered to be a pretty decent transmission. No matter how much power your truck makes, it isn’t any good unless you can put that power to the ground. Diesel Technology’s Right Parts For The Job
