Well I am real upset,mad,and a bunch more words I cant say.I need to vent and this will be the place . I just put a new trans in it 60000 miles ago and now Im doing it again. Oh its my 2001 F150 So what am I going to have to do a rebuild every 3 years. I did the last trans up pretty beefy different gears because of the tires and lift. I just dont understands it was driving fine then bang no reverce no 2 and 3 gear . The trans is going to be 1800 or so for the rebuild but I will get what I had before just out of the money. Well I guess that all for now thanks for listening

 

That indeed sucks. I can't understand how you're chewing up transmissions that fast. What model trans do you have? The 4r70w?

 

are you building the transmission? If not I'd hope the shop would have some kind of warranty.

 

x2.

 

Mutliple transmission failures?

Any chance you are hard on the truck?

Built Ford Tough is one thing, unbreakable is something else.

As they always used to say in the Lightning forum, you gotta pay to play.

 

Yes the transmission 4r70w.No Im not rebuilding the transmission if I was it will never move and yes they do give warranties 12 months or 12000 miles

 

I would say Im easy on it but it doesnt get driven by me my wife drives it .....and thats all I will say on that

 

 

Get it rebuilt by a quality rebuilder such as Darrin Burch. Either that or buy a Ford crate reman with a 3 year 100k warranty.

 

My wife drove my truck once as well -- then I woke up with a start in a cold sweat in the middle of the night.....

 

What size wheels and tires do you have? What gears are you running? Do you tow anything?

Your trans should go a lot further than 60k unless you are rolling 37" tires on stock gears or towing something ridiculous.

Since you have the 4r70w you may want to do the jmod to that trans. It might help you get more life out of it.

 

there's a lot more to this story...

 

Do this. If you have a problem, the warranty is good at any Ford dealer.

 

Theres no more to the story........I guess you are that guy

 

Im running 35s pro comp all terrians .the gears are 373 and no I do not tow anything .My wife likes to drive it alot .I guess when shes pulling in the parking lot all the my s***t dont stink brokers and bankers move there bmers out of way it makes her smile .I think the guy that rebuilt it just didnt do it right so we will try it again. It will be done on wednesday and cost about 2 grand out the door So we will see
