2000 Expy dies when shift into reverse
Gentlemen,
Strange behaviour. I'm driving along just fine, come to a normal stop, put it in reverse to back into the driveway, and it stalls.
I tried various things - put it in neutral and then back into drive, no problem - put it in neutral, give it some gas, let it return to idle, then put it in reverse, a minor heistation but doesn't quit.
Now, a few days ago I was moving a trailer in a field - lots of short back and forth over rough terrain, giving it gas to get over the humps - and at one point I seemed to lose power and finally it quit. Bu tI started it back up, drove on the road, everything seemed fine. I figured I just flooded it with all the gas and going nowhere. But maybe it was announcing something?
It had all new COPs and a rebuilt transmission two years and ~20k ago.
Any ideas?
Thanks

How level is the truck sitting when it happens? Is the nose down hill? How is the fuel level? Just some things to consider as there is a problem when the fuel below a 1/4 tank and the nose is down hill on these trucks.

Very interesting - I will definitely check this out on the truck this week and post back.
Thanks.

Good luck on yours, the only reason we know about this too is mine just so happens to be doing the same exact thing. My husband dropped the pan last night and is going to replace the filter to see if it fixes the problem. We're hoping we will be lucky that it will be an easy fix. If not, looks like the next thing to try is the torque converter, he is not looking forward to that.

Update on mine, changing the filter fixed mine. It no longer stalls in reverse. She is good to go, now on to the heater core before winter hits.

UPDATE
So, I dropped the pan and found the filter where it's supposed to be. Cleaned all thegunk off the floor of the pan, cleaned the gasket surface, installed a new filter, re-install the pan, 8 quarts of brand new Mercon V (4 quarts cold, 4 hot) to a perfect fill hot.....
No change.
Well, one change - I've sometimes had shuddering when accelerating around a corner from a stop. Always thought it had something to do with the A4WD, but now it doesn't do it anymore. Intersting.
Anyway - so I got a code reader and hooked it up. No codes recorded. I drove it around, put it in reverse, stalled, immediately connect the code reader - - nothing. No codes thrown.
WTF?

We thought mine was ok but the next day it stalled again, so we ended up taking it to a transmission guy who has replaced the well I'm sure I'm saying it wrong but something like the converter clutch? and a solenoid and one other thing but can't remember the name. Anyway what started to happen with mine was it acted like it was in too high a gear taking off, highway speeds it was fine but low idle it wanted to stall. The tranny guy told us part of our problem was I had a front brake dragging big time causing some of the problems with the tranny. I will have to find out for sure what is being replaced and let you know Fred.

I have no experience with this on my Fords, but I had a volvo that did the same thing and there was a gear position sensor that went bad. It was a simple $60 electrical part. I don't know if there is such an animal on your truck but it basically misread what gear I was in and shut the car off to prevent tranny damage. No code was captured at the time. Good luck

Problem solved
The solution is quite simple. Had to ask justanswers.com for USD15.
Anyway, just ask your dealer to reprogram the Power Control Module (PCM). There are updates or changes to the original programming. This is an inexpensive procedure.
My 2005 XP Eddy is now running sweetly.
Now, will someone tell me about "Tire Pressure Sensor Fault". How come they're so F-ing expensive!!!
