Yesterday I drove the Expy and everything was fine. Trans made a little hiccup on the shift from D to P, but nothing crazy.

This morning I go to drive it and reverse works, but there’s no forward drive in any of the gears. I got out and there are puddles of red hydraulic fluid under the truck, I assume it’s trans fluid.

How the hell does a transmission get a leak while parked? ‍♂️

It's probably the bulkhead plug. Happened to me and I thought the same thing. There is a gasketed plug with an electrical connector on it that can leak when parked. As I recall, the ATF cost more than the plug.

Broken trans cooler line?...
Click to expand...

Ford claims the trans cooler lines burst.... I'm still trying to figure out how they burst, but hopefully it'll be back up and running soon

Think it may be the 5star tune?
