Yes, scans EVERYTHING! It will tell you everything that is faulty on the truck, even something as simple as y the seat motor doesn't roll up sometimes....

So I have no codes on the entire truck with multiple scan tools... He PCM read would tell me otherwise ?

Yes. Take it to ford, a master tech there will know what to look for & how to read it correctly to know what isn't operating at full capacity.

I do this once a year with all my cars and my wife's car just before the winter hits, it'll give a report of what's happening and what to look out for in the upcoming months that way I usually take care of everything before winter hits so I don't have to freeze to death fixing something that I could've fixed months prior.

Sounds promising... I guess I'll try to get that done after the brakes are fixed and also see if they wanna reflash it for me while I'm at dealer

Master cylinder is installed and I still have the tranny issues and no engine codes AT ALL. I am just going to take the truck right to a tranny shop as my mechanic said it reading so kind of odd pressures and he suggested a good tranny place I'm going to try out

Well figured I'd update this thread too for anyone following along... The truck was dropped off at the transmission shop I picked today.
It has a few new parts you can see earlier in the thread and nothing has fixed the issue and the still have yet to get any codes.
The tranny pressure is reading somewhat low in reverse and I am still on and off losing reverse and the truck is shifting hard and way too early still.
Guess I'll wait and see what they say but I hear the Jasper 4r75 isn't a bad tranny at all and I might look further into them

Tranny is blown... Needs to be rebuilt or replaced... Have a $3600 complete exact quote to replace it with a new one and another quote for around $2200 to rebuild it somewhere else... Now I just gotta find the money

Go to a junk yard, pick up a used one for $250 (comes with warranty) and be over with it.

$3600-$2200 is just not worth it man it's almost the price of the truck total

Yeah you said it... Currently, my uncle and I are looking for a used one at a few junkyards up here but the trouble is that I'm in Rhode Island and there isn't much of anything... We can do the granny swap I just need to find a solid one and also I need tranny lines mine are rotted as all heck

Wow that's awful. Mine has many of the same symptoms but I'll probably drive it until it stops moving.
