2006 Expedition KR, 4WD with trailer tow package. 230K miles and was running great. Use Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil and also Transmission Fluid. Do not tow anything any longer (sold boat about 5 years ago). Driving back to Georgia from NC in heat, the Check charging system indicator came on with the battery dash light. Had diagnostics checked in Raleigh and found nothing so began my trip and barely in SC when we stopped and car would not crank again. Felt like dead battery. Had towed for Ford Dealer and they fixed it saying voltage regulator failed and alternator over drove battery, so they replaced all three. Left there this morning and after about 300 miles the tranny began to clunk when trying to shift, or even not downshift unless we came to a stop. O/D gear works but transmission seemed to not be able to decide to downshift and any shifting without gas pedal down was clunky. Is this related to the electrical issue or something unrelated? Has been about 40K miles since last trans flush and all extremely clean. What would some of you experts recommend I do?? I will go have trans fluid /filter changed but could this be some electrical component that got fried with alternator /regulator failure?
