I really loved that truck when it worked right ,would go through any amount of snow and never got stuck, but when the tranny stared to slip and just went, like that, never made it home. I thought ok I'll get it rebuilt and then I know what I have. 6 month later it happen again and the tranny guy told me that a small plastic part inside broke and had to be rebuilt. He only charged me half price this time, nice of him.
One year later it happen again and spoke to the tranny guy and he said that the problems is that Ford put in a small tranny "experiment for that year". I tried to get hold of Ford but no reply. So I sold it and never again will I deal with Ford. They have lost my business and my son in law had the same problem with his truck, he also will not deal with Ford again.
