here is a link to some info on a possibllity of a defective trans in F250's and up.

 

very common problem

 

Thanks for the link, truck is at the dealer now, I'll call in tha am and see if it's affected by this recall.

i brought my truck in for an oil change and mentioned a clunck in the rear end and oil on the underside of the hood. in short, they are replacing a leaking oil line to the back of the turbo and replacing the clutch pack/pad (?) in the ring and pinion. I dont remember the exact wording but its close.

 

they said today that they will need to drop the tranny and replace the reverse planetary gear. wont get it back till thurs or friday. not happy

 

we were sleddin this week way up to n.h., a buddy of mine has a 05 350 sd diesel...tranny blew on the way home...he said he knew there was a recall...so now his truck is at the ford dealer in colebrook n.h. and we live in mass...he'll pick it up next week when we go back sleddin..happy trails!...zap!

 

My o4 had it done before I bought it in Dec.

The o5s have another problem. Something about a spring coming loose in the rear of the tranny. It puts a hole in the tranny case and leaves purdy red fluid all over the place. I heard this one is happening to many on the dealers lot.

 

its tuesday and i still dont have my truck. they said it should be ready on wednesday, 60% sure. 60%!!! might as well say not sure when you will get.

 

No problem with mine, and it's had a rough life.
