Lost Overdrive in my 04 Supercrew...5.4L
So Friday night I was driving home from work, when overdrive completely dumped in my truck...runs great as long as I have overdrive off, but if I leave overdrive on the tach just climbs without OD engaging...now I know I have read that the snap ring is a big problem with these trannys, and i'm not throwing a CEL or any codes, so I'm assuming that the problem is mechanical, but I was just wondering if anyone on here has been through the same problem, and if so, anything I should watch out for or anything I should know when I bring it to the tranny shop tomorrow morning....

me too
just happened to me tuesday drivin down the highway no warning went to accelerate and nothin. NJ trans guy who came highly recommended by a trusted friend tells me the o/d technology is from 80's and basically garbage. no simple fix and tranny needs overhaul. 58,678 miles WTF. He recomended aftermarket torque converter and said he would update electronics so o/d problem should be resolved. $2,250.00 any body else. BTW trans guy was surprised that no codes were activated

My 04's tranny just went out right before I reached 60,000 and it cost me $1800 for a rebuild. I'm none too happy considering this is a very common problem with our trucks yet Ford never did anything.
