[QUOTE="J DAMAGE, post: 1283450, member: 7219"] I would check with your dealer about the lead frame programming, the recall gives the dealer the right to reprogrm the trans before actually having to replace the lead frame, with the reprogramming it also will not allow the truck to shift to 1st gear if it should fail. That’s fords way of covering there ass in 3 ways, 1- if reprogram works, they save 100 on lead frame, and 2-X-amount on dealer labor, and 3- if the reprogram don’t work, they don’t get nailed with causing and accident because the truck went from Highway speed to locking up the wheels. The valve body is a hydraulic housing with ports and chambers, nothing electrical about it, it will only function with the lead frame on it, the trucks computer tells the lead frame what to do, and in turn the lead frame solenoids open and close the ports and chambers that allow the valve body to control the rest of the trans. So it would be more important to do a reprogram if the lead frame was replaced=( electronic part) than the valve body itself=(mechanical unit). I’m in no way saying it won’t work, just cover your ass for the future, knowing your truck won’t shift into 1st gear, if the new lead frame were to fail. You did a great job and write up, just cover your ass the rest of the way. [/QUOTE]
