My new transmission has been in the truck for a couple of weeks now, but so far, so good. My new job has me driving mostly highway speeds for about 60 miles round trip. When it's warm, it shifts like the original did before the issues I had. Cold can have some noticeable shifts like the older...

I just got my transmission replaced on my 19 Ranger at 88k miles. Most will probably not have issues with proper care, but do you have $7,100 to repair it if it fails? I was glad that I bought the extended warranty to have something in case I had issues since I bought it used at 77k. I do know...

Still have to remove the pan to change the filter, and given FCA's track record, I'll take a chance on the possible contamination. To each their own though.

I thought I had read somewhere that the old Ford 4 speeds had a drain plug on the torque converters so that you could remove all the fluid and the filters. Am I mistaken about that? If not, why couldn't something simple like that be implemented?

I bought the extended warranty through Autonation and it was pricey but it just paid for itself and saved me a few thousand so I am glad I got it. Assurant is who is handled it I believe or at least, that is who sent me a link to finish setting up an account to better track the remainder of my...

The paperwork states it is a Snider Reman Transmission KB3Z7000A. The part number appears to be the Ford part number for the transmission assembly, but they did say a new torque converter was installed as well since that was the issue. I am glad to have the truck back and that this process...

Sniders transmission. My folks had a couple of transmissions rebuilt there, and they did good work. Heck, one of the trucks they did a rebuild on 15 years ago, I was driving last week to get to and from work.

I picked up the truck today; the total bill was $7,069, paid by the warranty company minus my $200 deductible. According to the shop, my torque converter was going bad, so they got me a new transmission and torque converter. The extended warranty paid for itself and saved me thousands on top of...

Sorry for the long time for an update. I've been busy finishing my degree, passing the NCLEX, and starting my new career as an OR Nurse. I was out of my truck for almost a month due to a minor accident where the other driver was at fault for going straight in a turn-only lane. After that, it was...

Mine, too, will hopefully be replaced under my extended warranty. Shop notified me today that they are waiting to hear back from the warranty company. 89k miles total. It's disappointing, to say the least, but if the warranty comes through, I shouldn't have to worry about it again.

A friend of mine has a 2013 Flex that has had her audio control module fail and no longer has sound from the speakers. It appears to be a common issue for the Flex, and I would like to know if the modules are similar in these trucks, as many of the interior pieces closely resemble each other. I...

It's good to hear that they hold up! I was happy with the set that came with the truck as they seemed pretty solid. Sounds like they will come out to about the same spot as the previous ones did, which will work just fine. Thank you for the reply!

I'm unsure if you'll see this, but how do you like your Tyger steps? The Tyger Risers that came on the truck when I bought it used have since been discontinued and, after my accident, have to be replaced. The insurance company stated that they will replace them with the Tyger Blade, and seeing...

Third party. I figured it will be an uphill battle either way and I didn't buy the truck at a Ford dealer.

I plan on trying the lubeguard as it is highly recommended here. I know it sounds weird and kinda messed up, but I was kinda hopeful for a new trans that had the improved parts and no miles compared to my original unit with 88k on it. Plus, it would be nice to know the warranty wasn't a waste of...

I've got the tools, just not a level surface to accurately measure the amount of fluid in the pan but I do plan on giving this a try as so many have suggested it. Currently planned, it will be in the body shop starting on Monday, and I expect it to be there for at least a week.

Hmm, maybe I'll sit on it a little longer then. From my understanding, the cdf drum on these trucks is a high failure item, and I would really rather not pay out of pocket for this repair if I can avoid it.

To do them that frequently, I would definitely need the PPE pan and that dipstick to make it economical. The $600 or so that I paid for the shop I trust to change the trans fluid and filter stung a little.

Is there any chance that I will also get the CDF drum replaced as well if the valve body is going?

Yes, mainly on the upshift, but primarily in the fourth gear. I did feel it slip in 2nd today and will get the occasional slip on the downshift. I do see it in the tach as well as feel it. It's bad enough that it feels similar to me hitting the brakes and then accelerating again. The momentum is...
