dont remember who said it but you really cant service the torque shift yourself because you have to have the machine to get the fluid out of the torque converter it will not drain out must be pumped out if you change yourself it will leave the old fluid in converter. MAYBE I DIDNT MAKE MY POST CLEAR I SAID ZERO PROBLEMS IF YOU TOOK YOUR TRUCK IN FOR ANY ENGINE RELATED PROBLEM YOU SHOULD NOT POST HERE.

THAT THEY ALMOST DONT LIKE TO SELL THEM THEY HAVE OVER 50 IN STOCK AND IN YEARS PAST THEY WOULD BE LUCKY TO HAVE 5 IN STOCK.
the service writer cringe when a 6.0 pulls in because they are ofton not able to fix the truck. TIM yes there are lots of 6.0 that are trouble free but there are way to many problems with this engine ford should stop selling untill they get the problems solved. in the end what they are doing is going to cost them loyal customers.

I'm right at 400 miles and wanting to step into it a bit more! IT starts easy, runs smooth, sounds great and when the doors are shut and the windows up it's quite. Went and showed it to my friends last night and the three of us sat up front at my insistance. Plenty of room! My friend urged me to get into it a bit. "wow this things is quick like a gas engine" was his response. I have retired a 96 Dodge with 12 valve cummins and in comparrisson... well there is none... this PSD runs like a... well I am impressed.

Now at 4000 plus miles and just got back from my first trip towing my 8500# boat from Phx to Long Beach. The old Dodge 12 valve would pull the pass going east from Indio to Chiriago sumit at 50 full throttle and this truck pulled it at 70 with lots of throttle left. I didn't need to go that fast but just had to try it. NO PROBLEMS.
