tranny slips
hey,
My truck has done this since new (2008 f150, 5.4 4x4). when u are stopped on a hill in and u have it in drive and take ur foot off the brake it rolls backwards alot and doesnt seem to lockup at all, same as with a standard tranny. i have nvr had this with an automatic, usually u take ur foot off the brake it rolls back maybe a foot then locksup. just wondering if this is normal with these trucks or if i shld have it looked at.
thanks, Peter

i would bring it in and let them test it or better yet take the mechanic for a ride.. I had too do this for my tranny issue and the mechanic said "its not suppose to do that" long story short 3 dealer trips later Ford replaced my tranny free of charge.

I took It in today and they said that is normal with newer trucks so I guess I gotta live with it. Its just a bit of a **** off when ur tryin to slowly creep up a steep hill offroadin, its kinda like ur walkin backwards lol

The truck is only a couple of months old and has 20,000 Kilometers. That's 12,400 miles. That many miles/ kilometers is considered a year's worth of use by most people I know. But yes you need to get it to another dealer as it should not roll back like that normally.

I have noticed that on certain hills, the tranny will lock up and I won't roll back.
But there is a very minimal slope on these hills.
On steeper hills, my truck will roll back just like yours.
I noticed this one at about 9000kms.
