Just moved into the 250 from years of 150's. Now have 98 miles and read that the tran would have noise but normal while breaking in.

whats normal, not used to this much Clunk while changing from P to D ect. More noise than used too I guess.

3.73 gears

new to the 250 so apologize if this is a every week Q.

 

guys i realize I'm new to the forum and have seen some real constructive advice and guidance given out here. Have great plans for this truck in the long run but just Q from a new 250 owner. any advice would be appreciated from those that have the super duty

 

I never heard any noise on my truck. Take it to your dealer. It is hard to diagnose a noise over the internet without some sort of documentation or videos.
Good luck with your problem. It is also a holiday weekend and many that would normally chime in are away with family.

 

Thx Bsipes for the reply. Good idea on the vid. Dealer just gives the normal....it will get better with time. Will get a vid and see what the other think later in the week.


thx again

 

are you sure you're holding the brake pedal firmly down. I've noticed on mine that if you aren't firmly pushing the pedal the truck will want to try and take off a bit and the trans will clunk coming out of park. This truck seems to be more sensitive to this than the F150's I've had. Maybe it's because I have the 4.30 gears and it takes more to keep the truck stopped.

 

X2 - I noticed some clunking initially when shifting from R to D when my F-250 was new, and I realized that I was not coming to a complete stop with foot on the brake before shifting. Now my truck has 3000 miles on it and I never notice the clunking. Not sure if that is because it is more broken in or I am more careful to stop completely before shifting.

 

^^^^ x 3...this is true

 

Thx guys, went out and did as you all stated and good to go. Just need to take my time. Man I love this truck!!!

 

there is actually a TSB out there that explains this. Driveline lash or something I think they call in the TSB.

It is considered normal. Welcome to the Super Duty club.
