Note to ZF 6 spd owners

Just found this while browsing on the Ford-Trucks site.  This is relevant since both the GM and Ford trucks use the ZF made 6 speed transmission in the heavy-duty applications.

The link to the article is at:

Hope this doesn't help.  What I mean is that I hope these problems are not common on the GM version of the ZF6!

I find it interesting that the ford guy in trouble has a 5.4L 6 spd.  I don't understand if the ZF is 200 lbs lighter why they don't put it behind a 6.0.  I'd be real tempted if they did.

I think the ZF's that GM uses are alot different. I've got 34,000 KM's on my 2500HD with the Duramax and I've had no problems with the tranny at all. I don't do alot of towing but I do drive it every day. I know of another Ford owner who has had problems with a six speed so it may be more related to them.
