4R55E-4 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANS. 5R55E-5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANS. The difference is in the shift strategy that results in 5 speeds, most of the internal components are the same for both gearboxes. Valve bodies are different. Both are electronic, and both were installed primarily behind 4.0 liter 6-cyl engines, 5r55e is an improvement over the 4r44e which in turn owes its legacy to the c3/ a4ld of yesteryear.

Can I replace a 4R55E with a 5R55E transmission and will it work?

Short answer NO. Long answer YES. The 5R55E transmission is the exact dimensions as the 4R55E transmission. 5R is a 5 speed, and 4R is a 4 speed. Though, as long as you don't swap the PCM on your Ford, it will stay a 4 speed.There are solenoids and sensors that are not the same, including the TCC (torque converter clutch) and a couple other things.If you are ready for your truck to be down a while, go for it.
