Transmission problem.......
As I was coming back from camping on the weekend, towing a 20' Nash trailer, my tranny started acting up
(2004 F350 built 04/04). If I put the truck in park and then to drive there would be quite a long hesitation before engaging into gear (automatic). Putting into reverse is even worse because it will disengage at least once before working properly. I talked to the dealer and they presume it's the selenoid because it could be a 2003 tranny! Searching on here it looks like they are probably correct and it goes in tomarrow.
I was pretty ticked
when I phoned my dealer this morning!!!!!! First of all the truck only has 2800 kms and the tranny is screwing around. If Ford knows that there is a problem with the selenoid I think it should've been replaced before the truck was sold. Secondly is there any other selenoids or things that I should have the dealer replace while it's in getting the tranny selenoid done???
PS. I love the truck but I'm a bit p.o.ed that $51,000 CDN, 2800 kms, 3 wks of use and it's already going in for a tranny malfunction!! This is why I bought the '04 since I thought these problems were dealt with. Gives a bit of an uneasy stomach thinking this could be just the start of a long list of headaches!!

They replaced the selenoid in the tranny and so far it's shifting nromally again. Also, I mentioned a "grabbing" feeling when turning sharp, my '99 would do this when the hubs were locked but not in 4 wheel drive. They checked it out and replaced my hubs yesterday as well. Kind of nice to have warranty but I wish I didn't have a need for it at
2800 kms!!
