FORD F-150 RWD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ASSEMBBLY OEM ML3P7000DA
ML3P-7000-DA is the OEM engineering part number for the 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission specifically built for the 2021–2026 Ford F-150 with Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD / 4×2) and the V6 engines (2.7L EcoBoost or 3.5L EcoBoost).
While your previous inquiry focused on the 5.0L 4×4 variant, this unit is distinct due to the output shaft configuration and internal calibration for the EcoBoost torque curve.
Technical Profile: ML3P-7000-DA
-
Transmission Type: 10R80 (10-Speed SelectShift)
-
Drivetrain: Rear-Wheel Drive (4×2) only.
-
Engine Compatibility: Primarily paired with the 2.7L V6 EcoBoost and 3.5L V6 EcoBoost.
-
Service Part Number: Often referenced as ML3Z-7000-AC in Ford’s service catalog.
-
Fluid: Mercon ULV (Ultra-Low Viscosity).
Critical Fitment & Selection
When dealing with the “DA” version of this transmission, keep these specific factors in mind:
| Feature | Specification / Requirement |
| Output Housing | RWD specific; lacks the mounting surface/splines for a transfer case. |
| Auto Start-Stop | Equipped with an integrated electric pump to maintain line pressure during engine-off stops. |
| Non-Hybrid | This is a standard hydraulic unit; it will not fit the PowerBoost Hybrid models (which require the 10R80 MHT). |
| 2024+ Updates | While compatible through 2026, newer units may feature the revised CDF Drum which fixes common “harsh shift” issues found in early 2021-2022 builds. |
Installation Note: The “Solenoid Strategy”
If you are replacing your current unit with a new or used ML3P-7000-DA, the vehicle will likely experience “harsh” or “erratic” shifts immediately after install. This is normal but must be corrected:
-
Locate the QR Code/ID Tag: On the side of the transmission case, there is a 13-digit Solenoid Strategy Code.
-
Programming: You must use a tool like Ford IDS or FORScan to enter this specific code into the truck’s PCM/TCM. This tells the computer the exact flow rate of the solenoids in that specific transmission.
