I believe it can, but with the electronic controls, you’d prob have to reflash something to get the ECUs to jive

Oh dang, I didn’t realize that. I had read something about swapping them in BMWs and it only being electronic differences. On second thought, I believe that was for swapping an 8hp40/45 to an 8hp70And the shifter, 8hp has no mechanical linkage
Agreed, I’ve never been a fan of the 6 speed in these trucks. If Someone ever figures out how to swap the 8 speed in with the 5.0L I’d do that in a heart beat. These trucks would be a bit quicker and a bit more efficient if they had the 8 speed mated to the 5.0LI would die to have the ZF8 in my 2013. I had it in other high power vehicles and it is the best slush box. The 6 is a sluggish pig in comparison.
I don’t think this would be too big of an issue if you just swapped to the dial on the 8 speed. I would rather have the shifter but I’d take it over the zf6 slush box. A guy that I watch who has an L320 stage 2 supercharged sport lives down in russia and says that he knows people down there who are trying to figure it out the swap. This guys has a fully functioning L322 digital gauge display in his sport so if they could code that into the car I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a zf8 swap in the near futureAnd the shifter, 8hp has no mechanical linkage
