The 3.5 FWD only version (earlier model years) employs the 3.16 axle.

AWD is now standard on all PI's. So the 3.16 is no longer available.

Thanks, that I did not know. Dang so how much would it complicate things trying to swap a trans with different final gear ratio? Probably a very dumb question but Is that something that can be fixed with a tune or just completely rules out compatability >.<? Appreciate the info!

I'm not sure on the answer on that (as far as ruling it out, compatability, etc.).

Perhaps another forum member can jump in on that.

Just so your all tracking, the 6T80 is basically the same transmission. I had read this a few years ago but it took me a couple of days to find the article. The 6T/6F was jointly developed by ford and GM to save money there is no advantage to the 6T80. See Below from wikivisually...

GM-Ford 6-speed automatic transmission [show article only]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [show wikipedia page here]
6T/6F
Overview
Manufacturer   General Motors/Ford
Production   2006–
Body and chassis
Class   6-speed transverse automatic transmission
Chronology
Predecessor   4T60-E/4T65-E
4T80-E
AX4N
General Motors and Ford Motor Company cooperated in 2002 to create a new automatic transaxle, designed for transverse engine applications in cars. The companies jointly committed to investing US$720 million in their manufacturing plants to support the new transmission.

Each company will name and manufacture the transmission separately:

Ford builds the 6F50 and 6F55 along with the 6F35 (related to the GM 6T40 transmission) at their Van Dyke Transmission Plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan, and in the future at Sharonville Transmission in Sharonville, Ohio.
GM builds the 6T70, 6T75 and 6T80 at Warren Transmission in Warren, Michigan with production starting in July, 2006.[1]
Ford claims the 6F50 is designed to handle 300 hp (224 kW) and 280 ft·lbf (380 N·m), while General Motors rates their 6T70 to 315 hp (235 kW) and 280 lb⋅ft (380 N⋅m), the 6T75 to 315 hp (235 kW) and 300 lb⋅ft (407 N⋅m), and the 6T80 to 410 hp (306 kW) and 369 lb⋅ft (500 N⋅m). GM lists the wet (with fluids) weight of the 6T70/75/80 to be between 102 kg (225 lb) and 104.7 kg (231 lb).

Ford appears not to have made a public statement regarding the 6F55's maximum capabilities, but uses it in AWD in the Taurus SHO with an engine rated at 272 kW (370 PS; 365 hp)and 475 N·m (350 lb·ft) of torque (Final drive 2.77:1 standard or 3.16:1 with SHO Performance Package).

The first application of the technology is in the 2007 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossover SUVs, as well as the Saturn Aura sedan and the Saturn Outlook crossover. It was also used for the Pontiac G6 GTP models and the GMC Acadia models for 2007. Prior to 2009, this transmission had issues caused by a very weak 3,5,R wave plate, which made this transmission prone to failure in GM products. Updated wave plates were released for many clutches in 6T70, the old design wave plates weren't stress relieved and could break with use. The updated wave plates are available under the following part numbers:
2014 PP, Dicunzolo Gen2 Mounts, Gear Head Intercooler, EcoPowerParts Charge Pipes w/Meth Bung @1GPH, Hennessy KnN CAI W/RECIRC, Alky controls meth injection, Lightly Ported Intake drilled and tapped for Port Meth Injection 1GPH per Cylinder, XDI EVO HPFP, Deathwerks 340LPH intank LPFP, ATP Turbos, EPP Catless DownPipes, Corsa CAT Back, 160TSTAT, 3BAR MAP, Stock Ignition coils, SP542 plugs .028, UPR Catch Can, MEGAN Coilovers,  Power Stop Z23 Brake Kit, 93octane Dynotune @ 430AWHP/430AWTQ...Soon to be much more
