Hi Everyone,

For those of you who saw my origional post on July 31, 2003 on my major trans problem with my 2001 Excursio , 7.3 diesel.

Great News on how my Trans problems were solved!

The problem was resolved, but, I had to go to 3 Ford Dealerships to resolve it.

Apparently the Ford Trans is subject to high heat problems.

When I went to Las Vegas it was HOT, HOT, Hot in the desert.

I finely found a Ford Tech who knew what he was doing. He told me that I should strongly consider installing a larger Trans cooler in front of the radiator, about $50.

This should help prevent future damage.

To help pay for the repairs, the Dealer offered me what is called a good faith warranty which cost me $ 500.

That is far better than a new trans for $ 3500.

They rebuilt the trans and provided a warranty of 12 months or 12000 miles, which ever comes first.

O month after I had the trans fixed, I received a letter from Ford apologizing for my problem. Because my truck was just out of the Factory Bumper to Bumper Warranty, they gave me a full power-train warranty for 3 years or 100,000 miles, for no additional cost
to me.

I was lucky.

Yes, you were ineed lucky. I can't ever see Ford doing something like that unless they really wronged you.
