Well, I do apologize, but appreciate the discussions being all over the place. I will move on from this thread. Thanks Everyone!

Ford mechanic says Transmission is toast. I quote the mechanic "the inside looks like a Disco ball exploded" the fluid is black with shavings. The battery failure caused the transmission to flip on the internal emergency break at 70mph basically it went into park. Not good. Although I let...

I'm at 76k. The mechanic drove it in felt it slip immediately. They are going to fully diagnose possible fixes but worse case is a 9k-11k rebuild. Unless it's maybe the torque converter or only requires a partial tear down. Jebus F*****g christ. If I give it up I owe $15k they'd only pay it...

What was the cost of those repairs?

Ok, spoke too soon seems 50% better maybe? To follow your directions closer I am not sure I fully understand how to do a "drive monitor" is it with a Bluetooth ODBII tool and the app on my phone to watch for PIDs as I drive (logically)? What confuses me on that is I did not know the PIDs would...

Ok, good info. ok then with that it does read just at 5 or slightly above. So that puts it between 180 and 200 on the diagram TJC posted. I need to get my temps. I have the ODB tool coming. I could be, if anything, maybe 1/2 a quart low? I really do not think I'm overfilled. I...

I know... I know... as you have said and I do appreciate it. I have the image you posted with the temps and corresponding fluid levels. I have been driving it to work and checking the level every other day once I get there. I park on my level lot and it has been reading between 4 and 5 on the...

Thanks airline tech, I think you hit the nail on the head. I reinstalled the stock tune, told it to relearn and ran through the relearn calibration drive I read here on another thread. I believe you had it right I think the PCM was "stuck" or "scrambled" up between the tunes. The reset...

I appreciate the reply LCR. The transmission really had 0 issues in my opinion before my highway incident. From further inquiry with a Ford tech friend is that the extremely low battery condition, which went dead completely a few days later, combined with the sudden surge of power needed when...

Good tip i've been struggling to see the fluid level but that makes better use of the paper towel.

Yeah, by the way it was White Castle not Taco Bell and I'm still scrubbing the driver seat. "Clark, I'd like to try to fumigate this here chair, it's a good quality item. If you don't mind my askin', how much did she set you back?"

Ok. I follow its certainly overfilled probably by 2-quarts. I feel pretty dumb at this point. I'll get a quart pumped out and see where I stand. Just working my way down till its right. Check it after a good drive. I'll post back after driving it for a week or so. I had originally put in 5...

I got a hold of a friend that knows a Ford tech at a dealer. The trans and computer issues could very well be and mostly likely were result of the battery issue and could have caused all my malfunctions on the highway the other day. This combined with the aftermarket parts apparently. I knew...

Thanks, I have the Fitzstick installed and I will follow this. I did have the truck running for 15 minutes in park before I tested it but did not shift between gears. I have a lot of good info in this thread to check it properly tomorrow.

Thank you, Sir, much appreciated!

Short answer NO, but I have learned my folly and I am getting the forscan set up with the phone app so I can have the gauges I need to observe. I assume trans temp is fluid temp or no?

the codes: P0600 P27B5

I looked and no fluid was seen that may have burped out.

I have to yet read through the last couple responses, but I wanted to throw in the latest. Battery DEAD. I went out this evening to go to the store and it wouldn't start. I jumped it and it started so I change out the battery. With the new battery installed it started up really...

I have the electric pump with the long 1/4" hose. I didn't think of that, but I just warmed it up and checked it looks to be between 4 and 5 as they say it should be. Did the transmission go through a bit of a "relearning" with the changed fluid adjusting to the new viscosity, and I was a bit...
