When my dad and I rebuilt the transmission on the Camry I had in high school, I got to see that parking pawl and never trusted them since. It was a handy habit, as my last truck was a stick shift, so I never had to walk out with it in a new parking spot than I left it in.

I second this. My reman has 12k on it now, but I would rather it be inspected anyways, since I always use the parking brake

Glad I always use the parking brake regardless. Why would they only inspect the reman transmissions that have fewer than 8,000 miles though?

I am guessing they are trying to find a way to ensure that you won't drive the same vehicle for 300,000+ miles. At least Ford didn't put their oil pump belt in the back of the engine like GM did with the 3.0 Duramax....

Today I learned that the 3.0 Duramax has a timing chain and not a timing belt. The oil pump, however, does have a wet belt, which is also located on the back of the motor. Still don't like the oil pump belt, but felt that it would be important to clarify my previous incorrect statement. Seeing...

I have had two Chevys and two Fords and had better luck with the Chevy's but currently, I don't have faith in any of the manufactures right now. Even the highly respected toyotas are having trouble with their newer vehciles. If you are looking at GM or Ford, I would probably stick with either...

Neither was mine, but trust me, you do not want to pay out of pocket when you are forced to replace it instead of doing it on your terms. Mine would have cost $7,100 without my extended warranty

Without knowing the code, we cannot steer you in the right direction. This code reader is commonly recommended and isn't the most expensive, but also isn't the cheapest at $80. It will read other codes, such as transmission and ABS, as well as read live data. On a side note, what month/year did...

Get it looked at. Mine was giving me shifting issues about this time last year, and I got the transmission replaced in February of this year due to the torque converter going out. At worst, you're out the diagnostic fee. At best, you get a new covered, transmission.

If you take it somewhere, be prepared to bend over and spell RUN cause it ain't a cheap service!

It is also in the back of the motor, requiring you to remove the transmission to replace it, assuming you don't burn up said motor.

I stated that in factory form, the 2.7 was within the capabilities of the 10R60. The 10R60 is rated at a lower maximum torque capability than the 10R80. The 2.7 max tq in factory form for the Ranger is 400 ft/lbs of the 10R60s rated 450 max. The 2.3 factory max tq is 310 ft/lbs of the 10R60...

Ford rates the 10R60 for about 450 ft/lbs tq and the 10R80 for about 600 ft/lb tq. While your tune does exceed this, all it would mean is faster wear and tear, as it is just on the other side of the rating. Additionally, I would not be surprised if your tune is programmed to help protect the...

Considering the oil pump used to run off a chain on the older generations of the 2.7s, and now it has a belt, I would pass. The Broncos, when they first came out, also had some issues with the 2.7 initially. Then there is the transmission side of things. The 19-23 got the 10r80, but the new gens...

I towed the largest enclosed U-haul trailer with my Ranger a week after I got it across Houston to help my brother move. You will barely know it is back there. Do not be surprised at the fuel economy, as with ecoboost engines, you get eco or boost, not both. I will advise to turn off lane...

I’m off by a $1,000. Surprised they don’t total it though

This was about $3500 to repair after some idiot tried to go straight in a turn only lane while I was in the optional left turn lane turning (yes I signaled and everything) last November. If yours isn’t totaled, it would be at least 15k I am guessing.

Mine has actually gotten much smoother now that it is more broken in. I don't even notice the shifts anymore unless I am watching the indicator or tach. I have not noticed any noises from mine, but I have also been wearing hearing aids since I was six, so that may not be the best indication. I...

The same warranty price that they increased when they found out that ford was paying for part of the repair?

My truck is rwd and I took it to a third party shop. They did a couple of transmissions for my parents 15-20 years ago, one of which is still on the road while the other was unfortunately totaled about five years ago. I was fortunate that I had a third party warranty which covered the repair...
