So 50k trans replacements instead!

Kidding pretty sure ford fixed the issues post 2023.

Hey those numbers are awesome. Wish I had them. And the cool shocks.

It is difinitely an upgrade in every way from my trade in which was a really cool truck. Everything but gas milage which I doubt will ever be over 20mpg.

I would caution all of those that are buying vehicles with the 'updated' 10RXX's.

Don't think that just because you have an updated unit, that you can go back to following Ford's recommended service interval.

I've had my truck since the beginning of January 2019. First truck pics posted on the forum. Getting close to Ford's recommended tranny fluid change at 150k, so just had a back flush/refill done three days ago at Lakeland Ford. Truck has 137k and it runs like a champ. She's no grocery getter either.

is this your first fluid change? I didn't make 18K miles on mine, and I drive very conservative.

Today my truck turned 4k miles since the transmission was rebuilt.

Still shifts like crap occasionally.

I'm planning on replacing the DPFE sensor as soon as I get a chance.

Only 41k miles but now over 6 years old.

Edit: Replaced the DPFE and it shifts much better.

First tranny fluid change. I do all the work on the truck myself, but I'm not equipped for a back flush. My trans has had it's occasional quirks from Day One, but it's never changed or worsened. I've towed cars with car dollies, pulled trailers, ripped some pretty good-size bushes out of the ground in 4L with the diff locked, and hauled a load of free river stone that grossed 7,200 lbs on the scale. I don't know how long the trans will last, but it's the same as it's been since new.

Some are and some aren't it's a roll of the dice! One thing to remember is this forum only represents a very small portion of Ranger owners so you're going to hear what WE encounter and not all the others.

OTOH, “WE” are undoubtedly the most intelligent, most well informed, objective, patient, thoughtful, creative…and probably best looking…of all Ranger owners.

Well no one talked me off the ledge. So it is all you guyz fault. Especially You AZ Scorpian. Hopefully my 10r80 trans mission woes are over. Just brought home a new Ranger Raptor.

Wanted to swap my 2019 XLT for a new Raptor…but the CFO said “No, not until we can afford that around-the-world cruise” I apparently promised her back in the day.

So instead, I decided to buy every aftermarket “bolt on” piece I could find and turn my stock Ranger into the “ultimate off-roader”….The results were a tad more dramatic than I expected…

That is the perfect off road vehicle, just as it is. I owned a red FJ just like that one. The soft top and doors were easily removed. It was in a class all by itself. I sold it when I left Colorado. But it would take you anywhere! I had owned a brand new 4x4 350V8 Chevrolet Pickup with dual saddle tank special ordered from the factory. Had it one year and new it would go where I wanted to go. Picked up my FJ with 80K miles on it, and had a blast!
