After several rentals, I noticed the transmission of short wheelbase non tow package expeditions generally performed better than my private max with the tow package.
Here are the three things my dealership found on the valve body:
1. The oring seal inside E cluch piston is torn;
2. Scoring in valve body bores;
3. A clutch valve sticking "THER MOST" (thermostat?);
My 2024 had the same symptom, harsh downshift from 5 to 3, sometimes 5 to 4. After dealer replaced the valve body, it behaves better now. However, I feel it comes back occasionally when transmission temp reaches 200F above. Anyway, it is still much better than before. Before the valve body...
Flying Wrenches's youtube video metioned the MSRP of Valve Body was increased sometime early this year. Hopefully it comes with some upgrades too like the new CDF drum and outer shell.
2024 max XLT with heavy duty tow pkg and 3.73 axle. Specially thank Ted Britt Ford@Chantilly, Virginia. They don't mind if it's a warranty work or not. They just get things done. It's hard for me to find such a professional dealership nowadays. Dealership tech has three findings:
1. The oring...
This is obviously an TSB issue. Something is going on hardware level. Software reset can't fix it. I deactivated TCM self learning feature for at least three time so far. Each time, transmission worked even worse than when I kept the self learning feature on. So I just leave it on.
I don't understand here. Smaller rims just make the sway problem worse. If you do not do offroading, you don't have to replace the 22 rims. 9k is too much for CDF drum issue. Usually dealerships charge 3k to 5k for CDF replacement. You can get a brand new transmission with 9k. If I were you, I...
Yes, I am right. lol. I've replaced mine early last year and it's night and day difference for the problem you described. Thank me later. lol
As for the front bar, my personal feeling, you do not have to replace the front unless you like driving violently. Front bar improves the stability when...
Someone on Bronco forum emailed Ford and got an unclear response. My translation of that Ford's email: Most likely FP tune doesn't affect ESP coverage if it is installed by a dealership, but it depends on how dealership works on the claim paperwork when you have to use ESP.
M-9603-EN35 can increase horsepower and torque for 2022 to 2024 expedition. It definitely affects the engine block, turbos and the transmission. Ford Performance warranty only covers 3yrs/36k and it starts from the day when vehicle is purchased. Say, if the transmission fails in a couple of...
Look the new engine still goes with the old thermostat.
I agree. 230F still seems higher than normal. Perhaps it is caused by dealership not using the upgraded thermostat (RT1252) for model year 2022 and afterwards. I replaced mine with RT1258 and engine operating temp fluctuates from 176F to...
