Transmission ???
My 1997 f25 7.3 has 71600 miles on it. beatiful like new truck. It had 64000 miles on it when i bought it ten months ago. It has ran fine, but now when i go to put it in reverse or drive it sometimes dies. And jumps forward or slips. It only done this three times, but now after having the transmission fluid changed, it want go anywhere. What could be the problem?
|
manual or automatic?
Btw nice score on the low milage |
Transmission???
Automatic transmission.

im not to educated on transmissions but it'll be the E4od, they don't last very long behind the 7.3 (i've seen one go out as soon as 30k after a rebuild, was warrantied tho so no harm no foul)
hopefully its just the torque converter considering the low mileage on it. somebody more knowledgeable than I should respond relatively soon. |
does the check engine light come on? or the od light start blinking?

hopefully its just the torque converter considering the low mileage on it. somebody more knowledgeable than I should respond relatively soon. Fluid should be changed every 30-60k miles. Also, it greatly depends on any upgrades for the motor. the stock E4OD can handle the stock output just fine, but anything more than a downpipe and a 6673 intake and it will suffer (and possibly very quickly).

No warning lights come on.

This depends a lot on how it was treated by previous owners.

The gentleman that owned the truck retired in 1997 and pulled a filth wheel camper trailer. The truck has mostly been parked in a shed.

Somebody will be here soon to help you out. I haven't a clue due to the fact I run a hand shaker. Sorry
|
have you checked to see if there's any metal in the fluid?
|
Thanks guys. Will check back later for replies. I really like this site and look forward to future truck talk. Will have to figure out how to put a picture of my truck on the site. Its a super nice truck.
|
No. I had it changed at a ford dealership.
|
After they changed the oil, did you drive it home?
|
hmm..wonder if they'll cover it?...by the way welcome to the site, and im looking forward to the picture!
