REally???? Heck, even my edge evo reads some generic tranny codes. Anyhow, I might have read this wrong, but was the guy that started this a ford engineer for tranny?? Why is he going to replace a sensor without having the codes read??? Thats a little weird. Ok, A LOT weird. It could be one of 200 things. GO GET THE CODES READ.

Most guys don't have a scanner & don't want to go to a place that has one ,,,thats why most of them post here,,,
If you like ,, we can always answer ,,,"get the codes read "
Then it will be easier all the way around (boring maybe) ,but easier
just a thought,,,

Icebox took it the wrong way and was on his way to throwing a tantrum.
That is the "Reader's Digest" version and it will proly pi$$ someone off as well.

Dang, apparently I am lucky around here. Both autozone and advanced auto here in town have the ability to pull all codes. I think autozone charges 2 bucks for theirs. I also have a garage on the other side of town that pulls all codes as well. They do it free. They even have a body code reader for chevys, which is hard to come buy around here. THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH that I would get my codes read is at the ford dealership. They know as much about diesels as my daughter does. Well, atleast their master tech does.....LOL Not to mention they charge something like 65 bucks to hook up the scanner. Here in my town, only the morons go there. IS your guys towns and cities the same way, or am I the exception to the rule?

I have Icebox's problem.
Icebox- what's the verdict-- Problem solved?
Finally- If I go to an Autozone,etc.. will they give a diagnostic after the codes are pulled??
Finally2; Must the "OFF" stalk light be in flash mode while codes are pulled?
