This may be very easily obtainable but, this is the first time I've ever come across something that provides so much data concerning TSBs on ANY vehicle out there...

I have access to TSB information on any vehicle on the market (including many 2003 models).

If you are interested in obtaining this information, simply drop me an email with the make, model, and year of the vehicle (trucks, cars, vans, etc) and I'll respond with the information. For example... after running my truck (a 2001 Ford Truck F 150 Super Crew 2WD V8-330 5.4L SOHC VIN L SFI), I obtained the following...

As most all of you know, the TSB isn't a 'fix' for a problem on a vehicle but, it is a sure fire starting point to a specific problem. I'm not able to elaborate on any of the data that I've printed above but, if you walk into your stealership armed with this information, they may be able to better diagnose a problem that you may be having.

The Tranny thunk is one of the biggest problems going for our SCREWS... hence, it is listed. The TSB is 01-13-7.

Also, keep in mind that all of the recalls are listed however; you're particular vehicle MAY NOT BE LISTED OR INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. The best way to determine if you're in a recall situation is to call the Ford Customer Care number and you can find that on Ford's website.

Please feel free to email me questions and requests. I won't honor or fill any information requests (TSBs/Recalls/etc) posted on here as it will simply clutter the thread. I will answer simple questions (if, of course, I know the answers).

A quick link to my email can be found in my signature line.

It would be nice to be able to see the full TSB text on the Clunk. Anyone have access to these?

 

Thanks RP


good think you didn't post my 85's chart up as your example, this thread would have a mile of scrolling down

 

I found a link that has the TSB info but you need to be a memeber (paid) to access the full text of the TSB.

http://www.alldata.com/TSB/

 

NO PROBLEMO... Glad to help... I firmly believe that this is why we have this forum... it's here to share data...

If you want this data for your truck, car, van, bicycle; simply email me using the email link above.

The only information that I will need, initially, is the Make, Model, and Year of the vehicle. I may email you with a request for additional information if there is something specific (like many of the fords have) like the vin letter code.

Rockpick can you find anything on a 2003 F-150 Screw XLT 5.4 V-8 2WD. I am having problems with my keyless entry working no more then 10 -15 feet from vehicle or not at all

 

Hi Guys,

I have access to AllData and checked that tsb. That particular tsb is not what you guys have mentioned. This is regards to a 2 to 1 downshift. That notice is from 7/09/01.

Here is a partial copy of it-the full tsb is way to long.
Article No.
01-13-7

07/09/01

^ NOISE - "CLUNK" NOISE HEARD ON 2-1
DOWNSHIFT VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4R70W
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

^ TRANSMISSION - 4R70W - "CLUNK" NOISE HEARD
FROM TRANSMISSION ON 2-1 DOWNSHIFT

FORD:
1999-2001 CROWN VICTORIA, MUSTANG
1999 F-250 LD
1999-2001 E SERIES, EXPEDITION, EXPLORER, F-150

LINCOLN:
1999-2001 TOWN CAR

MERCURY:
1999-2001 GRAND MARQUIS, MOUNTAINEER

ISSUE

Some vehicles equipped with a 4R70W automatic transmission may exhibit a "clunk" noise during the 2-1 downshift event. The "clunk" noise will be consistent in nature, and will occur during most 2-1 downshifts. This may be caused by a Planet Support Spring that is out of position.

ACTION

Check for the correct installation of the Planet Support Spring. If the spring is not installed correctly, the Planetary Gear Support will make contact with the transmission case during the 2-1 downshift, causing the "clunk" noise. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

NOTE THE "CLUNK" NOISE DESCRIBED IN THIS ARTICLE SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH HARSH/ROUGH 2-1 DOWNSHIFT CONDITION. IF A HARSH/ROUGH 2-1 SHIFT CONDITION IS PRESENT, FOLLOW NORMAL WORKSHOP MANUAL DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES

I have checked for other tsb's related to a thunking noise and have found none.

 

That sounds like it to me. I think I will make an appointment to have this fixed before my 36000 warrently runs out.

Im just over 30k now and am due for a transmission check-up. But this sounds like it could be expensive to have done out of warrenty.

I know they can't give me a bad time about the computer chip, but I should take it out anyways to avoid any moron that will come up with any excuse not to do the work.

 

Im having the same problem as Welfare Wagon with my keyless entry. Is this normal for everyone ? Its almost useless!!

Mike

 

Take it to the dealer. Probably a weak battery in the sending unit. My '03 remote works from 20-30 yards!

 

You can get a list of the TSB and recalls for any particular vehicle at www.nhtsa.com (the national highway and transportation safety agency). For a very few of the TSBs, they include a pdf of the entire TSB, but it's very rare. Still doesn't hurt though to check this once in a while. When I ran the 2003 F-150 just now, the only one that came up was for moaning in the rear brakes at slow speed stops. Haven't heard of anyone complaining of that yet on this site.

My 2 cents,

My transmitter worked from almost 30 yards away when it was new and the range has definatly gone down over time. I have had it now for over a year and 4 months. I think I will put a new battery in the remote soon. Also if I am in an area with lots of TV/radio transmitters around the remote sometimes won't work at all even standing right next to the truck.

 

Hey, funny thing, one of the salesmen at the dealership who used to work at a large dealership told me this one. To get your keyless entry to work from further away, hold the keyless entry fob under your chin (touching your chin). It really does increase the distance. I have seen mine work from 75 yards away.... not sure what makes it work better......

 

Your making yourself an antenna. Sounds like an intresting idea, I will have to try it...

I have accidently set my panic alarm off from inside a building with my truck in the underground parking.
