Thanks guys. And don't worry, truck should be back up and running by late next week at the latest.
Haven't pulled it out, or done anything to it yet. Plan to start looking into the trans today. I will letcha all know if I find anything. Might be staying late and burning some of that midnight oil. Hopefully I still have some laying around somewhere !
For a replacement, I am looking into a reman right now. Problem with brand new is, Ford has a long list of "suggested upgrades" for these trans, but they wont do the upgrade. So I would be replacing it with the same problematic trans. Jasper Trans are reman, come with a 3 year, 100k warranty. Kinda nice. We also have our shop's trans guy. He wants to trade me for a reman thats been beefed up with Ford's "suggested improvements" or whatever. Anyone else know of any place to source upgraded internals ? I don't mind dropping $$$, if I get a bullet proof trans in return (if there is such a thing !
)
Almost tempted to pull everything and go all new drivetrain. Looked into it, to stay legal I have to find an engine from an 04 or newer. Boy would that be nice ! Not likely, but......
