The 5R110 TorqShift is found behind the 6.0L and 6.4L Power Stroke in Ford Super Duty trucks and chassis cab applications. We’ll verify fitment by VIN.
Yes. A proper strategy update/relearn is recommended so the TCM can adapt line pressure and shift timing to the fresh transmission and converter.
Yes—both StreetMonster and SportMonster 5R110 packages include a matched lockup converter designed for your usage (towing, daily, or performance).
Always flush or replace the cooler and lines, verify strong return flow, and start with fresh fluid. Added capacity pans and auxiliary coolers are highly recommended for heavy towing.
Mostly stock/tuned tow rigs and work trucks typically land in StreetMonster. Bigger injectors, compounds, or aggressive tuning usually call for the SportMonster.
*HP figures are guidance; vehicle weight, load, gearing, tires, and tuning all affect capacity.

One of the 5R110’s most expensive failure modes is runaway reverse pressure. When the OEM regulator valve and plastic pressure plugs lose control, case lugs can crack or blow out. StreetMonster and SportMonster address this with a hardened pressure regulator valve and aluminum pressure plugs in the valve body, keeping pressure in check and preventing catastrophic case damage.
Heavy towing, tuning, and big tires load the 5R110’s intermediate, direct, and overdrive elements. SportMonster increases clutch counts in these critical packs, tightening clearances and improving apply so the transmission can carry higher torque without flare or slip — ideal for tuned Power Stroke and big trailer duty.
Heat is the enemy of any TorqShift. Upgraded late-model sump filters, deep aluminum pans, and a quality auxiliary cooler help keep Mercon V temps stable on long grades. The StreetMonster’s steel pan with drain plug makes service easier, while the SportMonster’s deep pan adds capacity and surface area to pull heat out of the oil.
Fill with a high-quality full synthetic fluid meeting Mercon V. After install, clear adaptives where possible, then perform a light-throttle drive cycle that rolls through each gear and lets the truck coast back down. Avoid heavy towing or full-load runs until the 5R110 has gone through several heat cycles and the adaptives have had time to settle.
You don’t need an aggressive tune to run a Monster 5R110, but if you’re already tuned for power, the added clutch capacity and converter upgrades give you more safety margin under load.
Keep it cool (deep pan + cooler), keep it clean (fresh Mercon V and a good filter), and avoid lugging the engine. Downshift on grades instead of letting the converter slip for long periods.
Yes — that’s where the SportMonster shines. If your truck lives on a trailer, hauls equipment, or pulls a heavy RV, SportMonster’s added clutch capacity and cooling upgrades are worth the investment.
Drop temps on long grades and heavy tows — perfect for Super Duty and RV duty.
