Automatic Trans Service
I have 1 1999 F250 2WD diesel with automatic transmission and 60,000 miles. I have been told mine rattles quite loud. I have owned this truck since it has had 21,000 miles and it seems to me that it rattles just the way it has since I first got it. I have had the trans flushed with new fluid before. So, I took it to a Trans shop the other day for his opinion on the rattle. He said is pretty much sounds like most 7.3 diesels he has heard. He listened to the Trans with a stethoscope and did not hear anything was going on but suggested a Trans service with a filter change since he does not like the flush method which does not change the filter. I mentioned some of the things I have read on this forum about torque converter rattles and cracked flex plates. He said with the 100's of Trans he has done he has never come across a cracked flex plate. He also called his converter distributor while I was waiting who also was not aware of converter problems with the 1999 f250?
Does this guy sound like he knows what he is talking about? What should I expect to pay for a Trans service with a filter change. He will also check and make sure the converter bolts are tight.
