Ford and Chevy 10 speeds are the same trans with manufacturer specific programming.
I refuse to buy half tons, cars with a box. Everything is designed to meet fuel economy goals so all the parts are lighter than they should be. Couple that with crappy things like turning cylinders off creating a time bomb in the valve train and I'll just buy a little more gas.
My 2000, 2003, and 2016 Chevy's are all over 250k miles. I also bought HP tuners so I could modify the ECM and TCM. They will shift like I want, and I can change anything I want for future mods (supercharger, turbo, etc.)
The 2016 6l90e finally grenaded the converter at 315k. The same generation 6l80e in the 1500s there's a ton of complaints about the same problem around 100k.
The 00 is the only one that burns oil. 270k miles in a 7000lb truck with a 260hp 5.7..... it's been run wide open for many of those miles. Also the first truck I fully ran out of power towing with. Had to put it in 4-low to get a gooseneck loaded with another truck up a hill.
Ran the shit out of that old 3500 and it's still pulling dump duty.
My coworker gets a solid 11mpg in his 5.7 tundra, while I get 15mpg in a 3500 crew cab long box. I still can't believe people buy Toyota, they are coasting on their 90s reputation.
