    Ultimate Transmission frustration update - ISO opinion, on my 3rd transmission...

    I had to pay about $2k delta for all the work done (disputes over covered labor rates, parts, etc), but they did end up putting in a new (refurbished) one as opposed to the first one they tried to put in that had 63k miles on it (which spit metal into the fluid and was bad). Glad yours was fixed...

    Happy to share that I have put over 500 miles on the rebuild in the past 2 weekends and my rig performed well.

    UPDATE: Transmission valve not covered by warranty company, and would only replace one ignition coil.

    Ultimate Transmission frustration update - ISO opinion, on my 3rd transmission...

    1. Transmission fluid heater/cooling valve was bad - between the transmission and engine block. It was shorting in and out. Dropped to 11 ohms at one point (going bad). 2. Separately, ignition coils (1 has a short and is misfiring) are also going bad - trying to replace all 6 of those too. Check...

    Ultimate Transmission frustration update - ISO opinion, on my 3rd transmission...

    Just checked in with shop. Hoses are fine but a transmission fluid heater/cooling valve was bad - between the transmission and engine block. It was shorting in and out. Dropped to 11 ohms at one point (going bad). This is my bad recap of what he just told me on the phone.

    2018 4x4 model update. At 103,500, my transmission was slipping and then started spiking to 250 degrees. I brought it in, the shop tried a new thermostat, that didn't work. They found metal in the fluid and diagnosed that it needed a new transmission. Auto warranty company agreed and shipped...

    Transmission Issues

    Hi ~ Can you please provide your contact info for Ford Customer Relationship? I had a transmission slipping and clunking and the deal (under original extended warranty through Ford) charged me $300+ to "tune it". 5k miles later, I'm now in a crappy after-market warranty and the transmission...

    Overheating - 2018 4x4

    The dealer I took this too missed multiple problems that I pointed out (and they said didn't exist). Now 3,000 miles later, I need a new transmission :(

    Overheating - 2018 4x4

    Intermittently, my 2018 is spiking a fever. The image below is the worst that happened, and yes, as I approached this I pulled over, turned it off and opened the hood to cool down. This image is AFTER the repair shop spent 6 hours under the hood, bled coolant lines, installed a new thermostat...

    Engine rattling and transmission

    RESOLUTION: It was my starter. Another shop had told me this, Ford refused to listen. They finally replaced the starter. Problem solved. NOW: I get a kind of "whoosh" airy sound all the time that wasn't there before from my engine area. Consistent sound - does not go up or down, just...

    250 lbs dynamic load - RTT mounting question, custom option needed?

    I have been looking at a RTT that is heavy, 250 lbs. Don't judge that part, please merely help with a solution if you have one. The towers that support / connect the Thule and Yakima cross bars to our factor side rails max out at about 165 lbs (though a store told me 220 lbs). Perplexity.ai...
