We both are.
But he is a super moderator.

Yep, and I'm as happy as anyone to see a thread hijacked! It's the way my mind "randomly" functions. If I was picked to keep a thread on subject, the pick was a total failure. :o

Wow, all these replies and and only one related to my problem! In response to that one reply, this started while in my 89 performance tune but some of the problems continue to occur in stock tune. I guess this might have to go to the stealer who will take all my hard earned money. I hate having to do that! Is Bill around at all? Was hoping to see him chime in. later

I will try again.

I think Bill WILL come in here, but if it's doing bad things in stock, I don't like it. I see that it's not that old a truck and that you have 40K on it. Seems much to soon for tranny troubles, doesn't it? I don't suppose it's still under some kind of warranty?

Kind of in the same boat I am, Jack.
If anything goes, its out of my back pocket.
Mine was up in feb. Ext warranty is about $2600 and going up every quarter. Pretty cheap if you look at the cost of a tranny or a motor in these beasts.

dnkrm first bring your truck to a good tranny shop, for a free evaluation. See what they have to say. Usually this is cheaper than a dealership. But if they say its gone see what ford can do about possibly covering it. Don't stick to one dealer either. Get a bunch of info.

Not knowing that much about transmissions I do have a few questions. In my case I have never had any kind of slipping or any time that it has popped out of gear, it simply shifts at wierd times, does that indicate more of an electrical/computer type issue or is that possibly related to valve body or other problems? I did unhook the battery the other night so I hope to take it out this evening and see if anything has changed. Later
