Final update: Took my Ranger to a few places for some cash offers and trade in appraisals, didn't go great. The transmission is still shifting like garbage, hard as fuck with big delays between gears, and every place I took it noticed it. I wasn't really in the mood to schedule another trip to...

Well, after researching the silverado with 3l turbo diesel, I have found out that it is pared with the "GM" Hydra-Matic 10L80 transmission. Which further reading says that it is literally the same transmission as the 10R80 and is made by Ford. What got me looking was a lot of transmission issues...

I am referring to the problems found with it during the overhaul. I'd call that trashed. You can call it whatever you would like.

Not sure of what the current market rate is for this truck in my area, I'll have to check. But I don't owe anything on the truck, I have the title. So, whatever I do get for it will go to the new truck. I don't think they are trying to screw me or anything, I just don't want the hassle of this...

Yeah, I get that anything is possible and no truck will be 100% guarantee of no failures but at this point I would be vastly increasing the risk by betting on a horse that has already proven it can't finish the race. I have no interest in fighting ford on this. I just want something else and to...

I don't think I've ever heard the waste gate vent on the Ranger. The turbo is quite quite compared to big diesel turbos or sport cars with turbos that are meant to be heard for showing off. A lot of small engine turbo vehicles these days are actually designed to not be purposely noisy. In the...

Actually, I got a free lifetime power train warranty when I bought it, and a 140k mile bumper to bumper warranty. But that doesn't mean I won't be in a pickle if the transmission fails while I'm out in the middle of nowhere towing a trailer 1,500m frome home. If it would've trashed at 75k miles...

That was exactly my thought! An excuse to not replace the entire transmission, or the like.

This work was covered under warranty. I really have no interest in spending money for a second opinion. Regardless if it is "operating as designed" now or not, it still fell to shit after only 22k miles. I'm just going to sell it and get something different.

Not sure. I imagine they would have put it in the work done description if they changed such a component. My biggest concern is how much I tow and that thise same parts or others will just go bad again. Next time it could fail catastrophically, when I am far from home towing a trailer. Not what...

What I experienced on the drive home was exactly the symptoms that lead to me taking it in, I don't see how a simple relearn could be the cause of such obvious issues. These aren't just feeling a slightly hard shift, it is clunking so bad it literally feels like being rear-ended. As for the...

UPDATE: Picked up my truck this evening. Work done is as outlined in the attached picture. On the drive home I did a little sport mode driving after the engine was warmed up all the way. Truck behavior is the same to me as when I dropped it off. Transmission overhaul at 22k miles? Yeah, I'm...

If they replace the entire transmission, I won't mind. If they just do that sensor and call it fixed, I'll take further action.

Truck is at the dealer for transmission work. When I asked qhat exactly was being done to it I was told that it's possible it may only need a transmission sensor replaced but that if that doesn't fix it, it may need a whole new transmission. The gave me a loaner expedition to drive while they...

MountainGoat is of course being a bit humorous. If you indeed do fool Ford on a warranty claim then after, they find out, they can, and depending on the value of their loss, will, sue you in civil or criminal court for fruad or theft. Defrauding a person or company is criminally illegal in the...

I believe I read another post recently that mentioned that even though the model number is the same between the ranger and f150 trans, that some components have different part numbers. Which would indicate they are not identical across vehicles. Regardless, some of us are indeed having...

When I take it back in for the repairs I'll ask them what exactly is being done, exactly what parts are being replaced. Update to follow hopefully by the end of next week. Parts supposedly will be in by late next week, according to service manager.

Your experience is what I expected. That's why I think that my issue is something that this service center has seen before, a known issue.

It's not worth a shot because if the repair cost is high enough and Ford figurs it out and you made false paperwork to go with it, they could sue you for fraud in civil court. Or criminal court if they do the repairs then find out because then you've technically stolen from them. It's not worth it.

22,701 miles. I tow a camper trailer that weighs 3,800 pounds loaded. So, I wonder if the towing caused the issues to present early.
