Replaces both filters, the pan gasket, and the O-ring on the Ford 5R110W TorqShift in 6.0L Powerstroke Super Duty trucks, 2003-2007 F-250 through F-550.
This is a one-box service kit for the Ford 5R110W TorqShift in 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks, whether the engine up front is the 6.0L Power Stroke, the 5.4L or the 6.8L V10. It carries the FT144 sump filter, the 3C3Z-7B155-BA secondary fluid filter, a pan gasket and the O-ring. Buyers usually land here after a used-truck purchase with no service records, a dipstick that looks like coffee, or engagement into gear that has started to lag on cold mornings.
The front pump in a TorqShift turns whenever the engine runs, and it pulls through the FT144 sump filter in the pan. Anything that blocks that filter shows up first as low line pressure, because the pump cannot fill. The 3C3Z-7B155-BA element is the second half of the system. On 2003-2007 units Ford ran a bypass filter on the cooler side: most of the cooler oil goes around it, while a small, steady share is pushed through for very fine filtration, so the whole fluid supply gets polished over time. Ford's own service guidance treated it as a wear item to replace with the pan filter, not a lifetime part.
The 5R110W also has its own well-known failures, such as solenoid body faults, intermediate and coast clutch wear and converter clutch concerns, and a filter service will not repair any of those. It will tell you a lot about them, because the debris in the pan shows what is wearing.
Scan for codes first. Any pressure control or shift solenoid code points somewhere other than the filter; our 5R110 solenoid testing guide sorts those out. With no codes, check the fluid level hot, then drop the pan. Fine gray paste on the magnet is normal. Clutch lining, brass or steel means the unit is already wearing, and our 5R110 rebuild wear points guide explains what each kind of debris usually comes from.
The listed applications are 2003-2007 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty, 2004-2007 E-350 and E-450 Super Duty, the 2003-2004 Excursion and the 2004 E-150, E-250 and E-350 Club Wagon equipped with the 5R110W. The kit cross-references FT-144, 3C3Z-7A098-AA, 3C3Z-7B155-BA, 8C3Z-7A098-C and 3C3P-7G186-AF. Ford changed the filtration design for 2008, when the external bypass system began to be phased out in favor of a redesigned sump filter, so a 2008-later truck needs a careful check. Compare the number on your old filter, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm. Browse the rest of our 5R110W parts for anything else the inspection turns up.
Want to drain instead of drop a full pan next time? Pair this kit with our 5R110W pan with drain plug. For service intervals and fluid specs, see the 5R110 TorqShift service guide.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. It is listed for the 5R110W behind the 6.0L Power Stroke and the 5.4L and 6.8L gas engines in 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks, plus the listed E-Series and Excursion applications.
Both cover the pan filter, pan gasket and secondary fluid filter. This kit also includes the filter O-ring and lists a wider range of gas and E-Series applications. Match the numbers on your old filters to choose.
Check before ordering. Starting in 2008 Ford phased out the external bypass filter system and redesigned the sump filter, so later trucks often need different parts. Send us your year and VIN if you are unsure.
Mercon SP was the original spec, and Ford authorizes Mercon LV for a complete refill and top off. Do not use Mercon or Mercon V.
Ford's original recommendation was fluid and pan filter every 30,000 miles regardless of operating conditions, with the remote filter replaced at each service. Trucks that tow heavy should not stretch that.
It is not required, but clearing the adaptive shift tables with a scan tool lets the computer relearn on clean fluid. Drive through all gears afterward.
