They said they sent it same day. I searched my inbox and my spam folder nothing, they must have messed up my email. I never bothered to plug in the calibrator thinking it didn't matter till I got the email. Do you know do they review the datalogging by special request? Does it cost extra? I...

Hmmm. Today is day 4 and no tunes. I did submit the tune calibration request form. I will call today.

I replaced the broken coil. I have to look at the code again. Big Doh! Needed spark plugs badly. I would not have thought after 50K they would be done but they were finished. Runs like a new truck and I'm very happy now. After digging ignition coil rubber out of under the valve cover, etc...

No, I changed number 2, but today I am putting all the original Ford brand coils I took out at 25K they are fine I just thought MSD would be good but reading on this should have stuck with the Ford OEM. It's still shuttering and backfiring. It seems to accelerate at high throttle ok just not...

Well it seems to not be doing what it was before but now just backfiring. I think that all the Lubricant I sprayed under under valve cover is getting recirculated and the cylinder firing is off, weird i am not getting any codes. just can't tell. ugh. I'll give it a day to straighten out. I...

The rubber boot is not letting go of the spark plug it must be corroded and rusted on. I did indeed remove the bolt the complete top of the coil came apart from the rubber boot that is stuck in the plastic plenum I need something to dig in there and get the rubber out. This is turning out to...

Great, thanks Bill! I am going to get the DPFE. I have 84K and it will probably be the culprit from what I am seeing this is a common issue. *fingers crossed*

Anyone changed ignition coils and they won't twist out? What's the trick? Its not like I broke the top off one never I don't make mistakes. I don't want to try anything that would not be a good idea so I am seeing what everyone has to say. I thought some type of lubricant spray but use...

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...
