hopefully you are correct but as another has stated not many has hit that milestone yet and to me even a few hitting it is problematic since the truck i came from was a very reliable truck until i got ahold of it and started wheeling it hard lmao but even then it started and drove every single day may have not been exactly straight down the road buuut it made it!
I would imagine Ford would suppress that sort of info. The somewhat narrow production numbers of the 5G means the vast majority of ours have the pre-updated CDF drums that I think are at the core of failures.
This is where the bearing race actually slipped lowering fluid pressure?
Seems to be the common observation when reading through Mustang and F150 forums or YouTube. I haven't bothered seeking out other ones like Explorer/Expedition/Lincoln as they are probably smaller and not as well informed as this one.
Did Ford offer to cover any cost like with OP?
I paid $150 warranty deductible I think?? Running factory tune w/ 31.5 in tires.. never changed the fluid.. my driving habits could have contributed a little.. the trans was had it quirks in the earlier miles but you know when you know.. service tech noted scoring on some area which resulted in the old one being a core.. gotta look at paper again.. new trans feels great.. the most annoying part of the process besides the 2 1/2 months time, was the service advisor trying to bull shit me and tell me because my 2wd/4wd shifter knob was bad and causing the transmission to act up.. I had spilled coffee directly on the shift knob and it must have shorted something.. which I knew and I couldn’t shift into 4wd. But the coffee spill and the trans acting up were different time frames.. anyways I bluntly said to service advisor if he could explain how the shift knob would cause the trans to get wonky.. he had no reply.. I had a terrain management fault and no reliable way to shift to 4wd.. “worked sometimes”. But no check engine lights .. which service advisor was quick to point out.. it pisses me off because they know about these 10 speeds..
May be just normal variations in the hydraulics. Some “whistle” more than others during shifting. Are you sure it’s not a turbo noise?
Come to think of it, when my 10R80 (original one) was shifting poorly it made this louder than normal whistle (not just the usual shift whistle). Does yours slam 4th gear, have delayed engagement at times (i.e. going up hill the downshifts slip and lurch), and there’s a pause and then the noise?
