Yup i'm so mad i could stick a piece of dynamite in the gas tank and blow it up! My buddy owns a repair shop and i was able to get one for tommorow morning. $2400new 3year/100,000mile warranty. then of course labor. i don't have the tools nor time to do it myself.



Was towing about 10,000 pounds of stone and i noticed it was acting funny got out and tranny fluid was blowin all over the road! It had been shifting weird the last few months but not too bad. But now she's sittin!

Pic of truck in my gallery under my user name.

 

Couldn't find your gallery, but sorry to hear it bro.

 

sorry to hear about your tranny.

 

Yea i don't know what happened but it was a pic of the truck on the flatbed no biggie.

 

Ouch, yeah I been there done that, well it was in Reverse 4WD in winter storm in BC, wasnt to happy, it cost the same for a new one from Ford and getting one from BD Diesel so I didnt want another stock one. $6000 later.

 

yea the only thing why i went that root was that it was in stock and will be done tommorow. and my buddy is in real good with the ford dealer and if it goes it's "no questions asked brand new tranny and labor covered!"

 

I have a bad feeling I may be near the front of the "tranny crapped the bed on me" line myself... time will tell.

 

Sorry to hear Jim, seems like its just a matter of time with these tranny's. Good luck to you..

 

shouldnt have said that..watch the forum ... most things here happen in three's..

sorry to hear Jim..it does suck..but it happens to all of us...

 

Its always in 3's no matter what I've found. I just notice my shifts seem to keep getting softer... hopefully its all in my head. Gotta pull a 3 horse trailer loaded down this weekend, gonna be hard to do w/o a trans

 

Hate to hear that Jim -How many miles on truck? Hope new one lasts you good long time.

 

Chase -Off topic but what ever happened with that quad cab u were looking at?

 

It wasn't all it was cracked up to be- the interior was stained from, and smelled like cigarette smoke badly.
Link.

 

I'm sure we will be hearing alot more of this. Like Chase, I will be one of the 3 with him.

Good luck with the new tranny.

 

I'm sorry to hear this Jim. The tranny going is always on the back of my mind. I have the dreaded diode tranny!
