[QUOTE="tomshep, post: 16961905, member: 8203"] To expand on this slightly. Mechanically and functionally, the R 3550 is the same as an off the shelf 3550. However, they R tranny was unique. It had to do with the vent for the tranny. A regular 3550 had a vent towards the front of the tranny. Ford discovered this vent was an issue for the assembly line when marrying the motor/tranny to the chassis. So the R has a unique vent that is on the shifter plate and the forward vent is eliminated. [ATTACH type="full"]1811565[/ATTACH] The last 8 of the R VIN is also stamped on the driver's side of the tranny below the shifter. Tom [/QUOTE]
