2011 e250 transmission slips when hot
i have a 2011 e250 super duty 4.6 standard length van with 140,000 miles. truck has been great until it suddenly started slipping after about a half hour of driving. it screams without moving and then bangs violently in and out of gear. it becomes drivable after it cools off. so 2 questions
1. ive heard that sometimes the tranny could have metal shavings and pieces clog up the filter and cause this condition due to lack of fluid being circulated. i understand that if it has enough internal pieces clogging the filter, it must be ruined, but i would take a shot at changing the filter and fluid if it saves me a 2000 dollar rebuild for another few months.
2. what tranmission is this? a 4r100?
thanks!

And exactly what do ou mean by "screams without moving" ?
If your transmission has truly slipped for more than about 5-8 seconds (total, cumulative), then you cannot avoid a rebuild / replacement.

"screams without moving" means that it was slipping for more than 5-8 seconds lol. It looks like a rebuild is not avoidable

I had this happen on another vehicle, suspiciously after an oil change. As it turned out, the quickie oil change place "topped off" the transmission fluid, resulting in an over-full state. Draining some fluid to the proper level corrected the issue.
So check to make sure the transmission is not overfilled...
