Forscan and transmission repair under warranty

Is the "-B" the revised transmission with the new cdf drum design?

No, “A” is 2wd and “B” is 4wd

Add another $3K for labor...

I am lucky enough to know several mechanics with access to lifts that would help me knock this out. If it comes to it, I would handle the R&R on my own.

I did mine after work last Wednesday, it was a bit much for one person to do in 6 hours but I did it.

In my case, not probably...actually...my total for a new trans and labor was just under $6K...

HOLY COW!!
What's the shop's hourly rate - 325?/Hour?

I guess that depends on how many hours one thinks they took versus the time it took for your DIY...From what I've heard, $6K out the door is the average out the door...

Did you have to do any electronic gymnastics to get it to work?

Or just bolt it in and go?

I was guessing that with the new trucks that only the dealer would be able to log into the truck and tell it to play nice with a different transmission.

Shop Rate for Trans R&R = 8.7 Hrs. plus extras such as flush oil cooler of 0.6 hrs

So, depending on shop labor rate - estimate about $2,000 for labor alone plus parts

Had to program the valve body ID code and reset the transmission adaptives.

I'm in Southern California so you know... it's just more expensive here. I was able to find a mechanic to do the whole thing with a brand-new transmission for 7500. Dealer wanted close to 10k.

Here’s the part number I just installed in my 21

Do you happen to have the part number of the Transmission you removed?

That’s the two stickers on the original.

Ok, Thanks
I have a Aug 16 22, Build Date and a Installed Transmission P/N = NB3P-7000-FA
I have 4-WD, no E-Lock or Trail Control - Lariat

I was curious by the TSB and the decision date to replace the CDF Drum being Aug 16.
If I have the updated drum installed on the Transmission
However, the P/N installed does not come up with Google Search.
I am assuming that the P/N would be altered if it was modified like aircraft parts are.
Note: I am having zero issues thus far with the transmission.
The only P/N Ford shows in the system (on-line) is the P/N you purchased. (4-WD)

Thanks Again
