Well, just a little over 9,000 miles and it has happened....Trans Fault came on in the message center, as well as the blinking O/D light. They pulled the transmission pan, and it was everywhere......Metal Shavings! Ill know a little bit more tomorrow afternoon, and ill post an update!

 

Well, a new transmission is on the way! Will be here Thursday, and will be installed on Friday! They were just gonna rebuild it, but the Ford Engineer said with as little amount of miles that the truck has on it, it would be better to just replace the whole unit! Bad valve body is what caused it!

 

Thats sucks, but at least your dealer worked WITH you instead of against you.

"We have concluded that the bad trans was due to low tire pressure and it will cost you $3000"

 

My service advisor rocks.....even said that they will re-flash the pcm!

 

Well, its just a little over a month later and yes........ its back in the shop for the same issue! Now, im a little pissed!

 

That sucks dude. Does it need another transmission or are you just having problems with the new one?

 

Im waiting on my service advisor to call me any minute and let me know whats wrong. Ill update when i get some info......hopefully it will just be a faulty sensor or something minor like that!

 

that sucks!!!! did u have a programmer or nething or is it stock?

 

Completely stock! Except for tires, DVD, Exhaust!

 

i bet it was the extra weight of the dvd player that caused it. it puts more stress on the tranny. if i were your dealer i would deny the warranty claim.

 

lmao!! thats funny, but the sad thing is i could see the dealer trying to say that.

 

Actually, it was a bad Transmission cooler! Parts will be in Monday morning, and ill have it back later that afternoon! I told him it better be the last time we have to do this!

 

They probably didn't flush the lines and the cooler in the radiator, and/or didn't replace the OTA cooler. Metal left over in either spells a short service life for a replacement transmission.

 

Well, i got it back today and it runs like a dream again.......For Now! Hope i dont see my service advisor until the next oil change!

 

Sounds like it worked out. I also have tranny problems. It dosent engage in reverse for over a minute. Hopefully they will fix it when I bring it in tomarrow.
