Ford Excursion V10 stalling in reverse only when backing downhill.
I have a 2000 ford excursion V10, and recently it’s been stalling in reverse. It started when I was towing a camper down a very steep mountain road, and was engine braking in first gear for about 10 minutes. I have a digital temp gauge and have never gone over 220 degrees. It doesn’t happen all the time, only when I am backing down a hill (front tires above rear tires) with no load on the engine. If I am aimed uphill when I back up, I can sit there with my foot on the brake forever and it won’t stall. If I am on the same road but turned around so I am aimed downhill when I back up, it will stall within 2 seconds. Any ideas for this? The trans fluid level looks good but the dipstick is hard to read. I have about 136k miles. Had a trans fluid drain and fill and filter replaced at about 125k miles.

yes, I usually keep it over a half tank and haven’t noticed any changes. This does happen less when it’s fully warmed up, but has still occasionally happened.

Do you have the original Ford stamped steel transmission pan?
If not, which aftermarket transmission pan do you have, if you know?
When you checked your transmission fluid level, was your engine running?
What EXACT transmission fluid did you use when you drained and refilled it at 125K miles?
(Be very specific with your identification of transmission fluid, including the name brand, and a link to the product online so that the specifications can be seen)
When you pulled your old transmission pan filter, did you also retrieve the old O ring for that old filter from the orifice in which the top of the filter is inserted, prior to installing the new filter?
