I have a 2004 F250 6.0 PSD with 25,000 mile on it, i love the truck it runs great but i am have a problem with a long delay going from drive to reverse. When plowing and the transmission is at running temp. Their seems to be a 20 sec delay when going it to reverse. When i shift in to reverse and hit the gas nothing happens until reverse locks in like some kind of interlock that dose not allow the engine to accelerate until reverse locks in, when it dose lock in it then suddenly accelerates to the position of the accelerater pedal. I took it to the dealer and they said they computer tested the tranny and it was fine, then they alse said they reprogramed the computer to fix the problem, well the problem is not fix, Anyone else haveing this problem.

 

There's a Ford Customer Satisfaction campaign going on right now for Torqshift problems. See below. This one is for '05's but there is a similar one for '04's.
