It's not. But some people would refuse to buy a product because of a small percentage of negative reviews. An item on Amazon can have 852 five-star reviews, and 3 one-star reviews and people will see the product as faulty.
I know how you feel =(
Jumpin jeheesefers, 6k already??
I've slowed way down...two years ago, it would've been 16K...Jumpin jeheesefers, 6k already??
Why slow down. Don't you have unlimited miles warranty on the new transmission? You know the magic number maybe you can get another new one free.
Two big reasons:Why slow down. Don't you have unlimited miles warranty on the new transmission? You know the magic number maybe you can get another new one free.
Good new is that a new 2.3 is cheaper than a new 10R80...
I have around 52K on my 19 Ranger and the tranny is or has been acting weird. Doesn't do the gear hunting, never has. Mostly rough or slip shifts and after it has sat for 4 to 5 hours, engine still basically warm, I drive off and 3 to 5 shift is nearly a stall! It has done this repeatedly in that scenario! I'v watched the RPM and when it does this it doesnt go up like in a slip, just hangs there for a second or two then grabs kinda harshly. The rest of the shifts are sloppy. Once I go through a complete upshift cycle it improves and acts normally (for a 10R80). A bad sign to me is I had to make an appointment 2 weeks out just to see the tranny guy. He's rather busy these days. They kept it a day and a half and said nothing is wrong, I was waiting for that answer too. I was at least hoping for a reflash but didn't even get that. Glad I opted for the 125K warranty. I'm proactive and would like to get it fixed BEFORE it leaves me stranded. SA said well you are covered up to 125K! Like I shouldn't worry! Thats a crap attitude if it's suppose to make me feel better. I would rather it didn't break. I have also noticed a ticking when cold, I can hear it from behind the firewall, I go to the front and noise disappears, it's an infrequent tick, not always there. I'm thinking torque converter, anyone else notice this?
I tried my best to explain this to SA, they kept it overnight because tech wanted to read codes in the morning. Nothing wrong all normal. To be fair it's hard for the tech if it doesn't replicate the problem or throw a code. I do FAA repairs on a boost fuel pump for Gulfstream G550, we get pumps in that are intermittent failures. I test these and return nearly 99% of them because it doesn't repeat. Frustrating for sure. I have had many Ford vehicles and have never been stranded because I can recognize issues before it actually fails. This is what I am trying to do here.
