2001 and older are exempt from odometer readings. Since yours is an 2003 it's still required so if they did mess with it you might have a case.

 

call the law see if you can make that ******* by it back

 

well i still havent proven that milage issue to be true, but i need all of you guys help on this one, i just might have figured this out myself. is the iss and the oss sensor on transmission same part number? mine are identical.

 

I had a lot of the issues you are referring to. My fix was a rebuilt tranny. Problem solved but not what I was hoping for. Hope its just sensors for you.

 

What State you in?

Can you post picture of that truck rear suspension and driver's area so we can see how many miles it really had.


I had several that had over 200K so there wear/tear.

How much you paid for that?

5.4L isn't bad. If it miss it coil packs or spark plugs issues.

Had one with 246K miles but coolant ate alum head it still running but pour coolant so fast.

 

Yea, what state are you living in? Is that the same state you bought the truck in? Most states will hold it as an "As Is" sale, but if there were material misrepresentations, then you could more than likely recover against the seller...

 

we are in ms. and yes same st i purchased it in. i cannot post picture of it tonight as it is still at ford at this moment. talked to service manager at our other ford dealership. he is telling me it could be oss. does oss have anything to do with speedo? and are oss and iss same part? he says no. says one is mm longer is this true?

 

Is truck from North?

How rusty?

Have you test VSS sensor's wiring to make sure it good?

I had this issues on 95 F250 that was plow snow for 15 years. Vss sensor's wiring were rot. Cause speedo go crazy and transmission were shift crazy.

 

truck is from ok. how do i test wiring?

 

When I wasn't knowledge with volt multi tester couple years ago. I think you can test with volt multi tester on vss wiring.

I cut all plastic tubing that were wrap on Vss wiring. Found near Transmission. It was full of green corrosion.

 

i have multi meter, what do i set it on. and look for? also i thought the vss was at rear end, not trans?

 

Should say clearly. Wiring from Vss sensor on rear axle I trace to find where bad wiring it was near by transmission.


I am not expert on Multi Meter but think OHM will do? Wait for expert to chime here.

 

oh ok i will get truck back from ford tomorrow, and see what i can see thanks milwaukee, ok experts chime in lol how do i use meter to check wiring?

 

If you're asking on how to find a break in wiring, set your multi-meter on the resistance setting (look for the "ohm" symbol). Then push one probe on one end of the wire, and the other on the opposite end of the same wire. If all is well, you should see zero ohms of resistance, or somewhere close. If it shows infinite resistance, the wire is broken or the connector is badly corroded, either way it's not doing it's job. This may require long leads and a little creativity here, so be patient.

 

thanks for all the responses, and suggestions, but can anyone answer my question on oss senser and iss senser on trans. are they the same on this model? and can one of them being faulty cause probs im having. first mech is telling me thats part of prob. according to his code reader?
