i just bought this piece of crap and got a warranty with the tranny problem is it just got rebuilt and it does not have more than 50 miles on new rebuild so watch out even when they rebuild them they don't work. works fine till it hits 20 miles down the highway then o/d light starts flashing and it wont shift past 2nd and won't shift right once you stop no wonder everyone buys toyota

Huntington Ford again. 3rd major trans issue in 7 years on a truck that is supposed to be Super Duty.
Ran the truck in 4 Wheel Hi during a snow storm. 3 trips, first two were 4 miles round trip. 3rd was 8 miles. The OD off started flashing on the return trip (about 3 miles to go). Trans would not shift out of 3rd gear. Disengaged 4 WH back to 2 WH. By the time I was within a mile of home, the service engine light was on. Switch is located inside the trans case, so it is 450 to drop the trans and 540 for the part. Great timing. Took it in on a Tuesday afternoon, should get it back Friday morning. Atleast they pick up half the rental cost this time.

Was on the way to hunting trip in NW CO with 32K miles. O/D light started flashing at Eisenhower Tunnel. Coasted into dealership at the bottom of hill. I bought this truck used and luckily had purchased a bumper to bumper warranty from my lender. Had to wait for the diagnosis and a rental car, first one was too small (hunting camping gear) then had to wait for hunting party. I was supposed to be early to setup camp! Had to travel back (5 hours, one way) to pick up my truck a week later. I paid to install synthetic fluid and have had no problems since then. Now at 130K miles.
