6F50 2014-2019 Ford Explorer, Police Interceptor Utility AWD/4WD – Remanufactured 6-Speed Automatic Trans

Description

Outfitted for municipal enforcement vessels, Ford 6F50 Police Utility Marine Transmission remanufactured packages serve 2014-2019 Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor Utility all-wheel marine conversions. This 6-speed automatic unit harnesses 365 horsepower at a 6500 RPM input ceiling. An electro-hydraulic valve body manages gear changes with a 4.48:1 first gear reduction ratio for displacement watercraft propulsion.

Cast from high-tensile gray iron, the casing resists torsional deflection under heavy hull loads. AGMA Class 11 helical gears feature crown relief to cut gear whine during continuous operation. Sintered bronze clutch plates with oil slots dissipate friction heat across internal packs. A cupronickel tube bundle heat exchanger with sacrificial zinc anode plumbs to 1.25-inch raw water hoses. Hydraulic ports accept 7/16-20 JIC fittings. Dry weight spans 228 lbs with 10.5 quarts fluid capacity in an SAE #3 perimeter.

Key Features of Ford 6F50

Shipyards choose to buy Ford 6F50 marine transmission units for custom patrol craft and harbor launches that demand automated multi-ratio propulsion. Modern repower specialists configure these packages to modernize legacy inboard drivelines with computerized electronic shifting.

• 280 PSI line pressure regulator valves stabilize clutch clamp force under open throttle conditions
• 6 forward gear ratios span from 4.48:1 to 0.74:1 to optimize propeller shaft torque across all speed brackets
• 2.5 gallon per minute gerotor oil pumps circulate fluid through cooling passages to suppress thermal spikes
• 12-volt pulse-width modulated solenoids actuate clutch circuits within 85 milliseconds for shock-free ratio transitions
• 4.48:1 planetary gear sets absorb reverse thrust loads during rapid docking maneuvers in tight harbor channels
• 260 lb-ft torsional damper plates isolate engine harmonics from this 6F50 marine transmission package
• 6 bolt pattern companion couplings transfer rotational power straight to standard marine propeller shafts

Interceptor Duty Hydraulic Parameters

Operating clutch fluid pressures range between 215 and 285 PSI pump pressure to maintain clutch lockup without slippage. Internal fluid sump temperature limits stay between 150°F to 185°F operating sump temperature during sustained cruising. Peak continuous input torque reaches 350 lb-ft at 4500 RPM under a medium duty rating. The external heat exchanger achieves a thermal heat rejection rate of 650 BTU/min across raw water circuits. A 4.48:1 first gear mechanical reduction ratio amplifies low-end thrust to plane heavy displacement hulls without hesitation.

Thrust Flange Coupler Geometry

The output companion flange features a 5.0-inch outer diameter with a 4.25-inch pitch circle diameter across 6 bolt holes. An integrated internal thrust bearing holds 2,400 pounds of shaft thrust from propeller push. Flange drop geometry measures 185 mm vertical center distance. Dial indicator alignment runout tolerances to the stern tube shaft must remain inside 0.003 inches.

Clutch System Inspection Timeline

An electronic valve body directs fluid engagement without manual linkage levers, while a top dipstick tube permits fluid verification during pre-trip checks. This transmission is not engineered for severe continuous ocean trawling or deep-draft tugboat push duties. Adhere to strict fluid inspections to avoid clutch burn.

• Inspect fluid clarity and check oil level at the dipstick each shift before cranking the marine engine
• Drain transmission fluid and extract debris from the internal suction screen every 250 hours of operation
• Renew raw water zinc anodes and verify heat exchanger tube clearance every 12 months during haulout

Heavy Duty Warranty Manifest

Each unit ships with a 2-Year commercial limited warranty covering internal components against manufacturing flaws. The heavy wooden shipping crate contains one bare marine transmission unit, an input torsional flex plate, a seawater oil cooler bundle with mounting bracket, an output companion flange, an oil dipstick, and a factory workshop manual.
