6R140 Solenoid Kit 2011-2019, new and ready to install. Fits the 6R140. Ships fast from the USA.
This listing is a single solenoid, not a full set: the BD Diesel 1030385 PressureLoc, a drop-in replacement for one solenoid in the 6R140 that raises line pressure. It is built for owners of 2011-2019 6.7L Power Stroke Super Duty trucks who tow heavy, run added power, or feel the transmission slip and flare between gears under load. If you need to replace failed factory solenoids instead, see the note on siblings further down.
From the factory, the 6R140 varies line pressure between roughly 70 and 170 psi. The line pressure control solenoid, a normally high unit, moves the pressure regulator valve, and the TCM keeps pressure low most of the time for smooth shifts. That works for a stock truck with a light load. With more torque, the clutch packs can slip before they fully apply, which creates heat, glazed friction plates and eventually a failed clutch pack.
The BD part replaces the factory solenoid in the second position from the driver side and overrides that strategy, letting the transmission make 250 to 300 psi according to BD's instructions. Higher apply pressure means more clutch holding capacity, which is how it reduces slip and flare. No tuner is needed.
It is not a cure for electrical faults. P0960 to P0963 codes point at the circuit, the internal harness or the TCM, and a pressure upgrade will not clear them. A worn pressure regulator bore or a burned clutch pack also needs a real repair first.
Scan for codes and look at the fluid. Clean, red fluid with a flare under load is the case this part was designed for. Dark fluid that smells burnt means clutch damage is already done. Ford transmissions have no line pressure sensor, so scan tool pressure readings show only what the module is asking for. To see actual pressure, put a mechanical gauge on the pressure port on the side of the case. Our 6R140 pressure control solenoid guide explains the test, and the 3-4 clutch failure guide covers what slip does to the clutch packs.
BD lists part 1030385 for the 2011-2019 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty with the 6.7L Power Stroke and 6R140 automatic. It is a diesel part; it is not listed for the 6.2L or 7.3L gas trucks. Note that BD's earlier instructions covered 2011-2018 and the 2021 version adds 2019, so check with us if you have a late 2019 build. This item cannot ship to California. Send us your year and VIN if you are unsure, or browse all of our 6R140 transmission parts.
If your goal is fixing failed solenoids rather than adding pressure, the seven-piece 6R140 solenoid set replaces all of them at once.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is one BD Diesel 1030385 PressureLoc solenoid plus an installation manual. It replaces one factory solenoid to raise line pressure. For a full set of seven replacement solenoids, see our 2011 6R140 solenoid kit.
No tuner is required. Clear codes and keep-alive memory after install and let the transmission relearn its shifts.
Expect firmer shifts. The part raises line pressure from the stock 70-170 psi range to 250-300 psi, which is what increases clutch holding power.
BD lists it only for the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel with the 6R140, model years 2011-2019. It is not listed for the 6.2L or 7.3L gas engines.
Use a mechanical pressure gauge on the case test port with a hose rated for at least 300 psi. Scan tools show only the pressure the module is commanding, not actual pressure.
