Another update regarding this, Ford did not accept my request for a new transmission. They only approved a rebuild. It's still at the dealer, not sure when I'll get it back.
UPDATE:
So Ford called me today and informed me that they will be rebuilding the transmission. That's pretty much all the information I have as it hasn't been torn apart yet.
Should I push for a new trans or allow them to rebuild it?
I agree that it isn't your fight; I don't know the answer and I'm sorry about Colorado, it's unfortunate it's gotten so Californified. When people here tell me they're going to move out of state I tell them not to. Don't go ruin someone else's hometown, stay here and live in what you created.
I understand your stance on states rights, however, CA has been shredding constitutional rights for decades. Nearly half of the state has no representation in government and thus no voice or power to block or introduce legislation. I think rest of the country believes all of California is...
I did not perform a BMS reset, I probably should. There are no DTCs or anything showing up on forscan. I know there were a ton of them when the dealer pulled the data. I’ll try and upload the pdf they sent to me.
So I spent some time driving around today trying out different things. I put it in tow mode and it HATES 2nd gear. From first to second it will slip so bad it's like neutral except it will kill power. If I keep the throttle in the same position it'll cut fuel. It will do this every time into 2nd...
Yes as far as I'm aware this is the way it is designed. If you're not moving at the minimum speed for the gear it will not allow you to shift manually into that higher gear. Someone correct me if that's wrong
Thank you for the response, I'll be sure to get a nice long paper trail for this. I'm assuming the dealer is going to just continually reset the trans learning and sending me on my way. I asked them when it was in the dealer to inspect the fluid for clutch or metal material and they said they...
Interesting! I'll try that and see what happens. You should get it into the dealer at some point before the warranty is up just in case you have any major issues in the future. Get a paper trail that you attempted to remedy the issues while still under warranty. That's basically my approach. I...
I may try to do the Ford Transmission Procedure and see if that clears up some of the issues. My drive to work and home is only 2 miles and is barely enough time for the truck to warm up lol I'm sure this doesn't help the situation
Yeah it's annoying to say the least. My concern is long term reliability. I'm concerned that this is shortening the life of the transmission by slipping the clutches too much
I think it's been about 300 miles or so, not much. I don't put too many miles on the truck as you can see. In almost 4...
Hello Everyone! I haven't posted on here in quite some time, life has been busy!
This part may be unrelated/coincidental:
A few months ago I changed my battery, went out to start my truck and realized my battery was dead. Decided to throw a charger on it and started it; drove it to Costco to...
I haven’t had any personal experience with the diode lights, that being said Philips makes quality stuff, I’m happy with them. I’ve been wanting to get some switchbacks also, but the prices are pretty steep.
