Update #2. From a technical aspect this certainly won't help anyone, but maybe just from a sharing of information someone may benefit. Service Tech called me yesterday and said some of the parts needed to fix my transmission would not be available until 9/28. At this point my truck has been...

Great point as things can always be worse.

Thx guys. I will make sure to check the part numbers, but he assured me all parts would be new OEM stuff. Matter of fact the torque converter is currently on back order per him, but hope to have one by Monday.

Update on my original post.... So the service advisor just called me. I will try to convey what he said as best I can. He says upon tearing down my transmission that the tech did not find any metal shavings. There were some "hot spots" on some of the clutches apparently. At this point they...

Thanks a lot for all of the insight and opinions. I feel much better about the situation as a whole and also appreciate the knowledge in defining terminology. I will report back with whatever it is I am told and I am hopeful they may be able to determine a root cause. I am guessing that's...

Thanks so far for the thoughts/opinions. This is exactly the kind of info. I was seeking. I will try to gather any info. from them I can in the hopes of having something worthwhile to post in regards to the 10r80. Not sure what that would be though.

Hi All, I have a 2018 802A screw with 7,600 miles. No mods except Fumoto oil valve. Bought Nov. of 18. Never towed with it or even had it offroad yet. My transmission started to shift erratically the other day and I assume went into limp mode. The wrench appeared. Luckily I was close to...

I have only done one oil change thus far and also used the performance filter. I am about to do my second change. Switched to the performance filter at the first change with no problems. We will see how this one goes. Going to add the fumoto valve this time around as well as stay with the...

I did use my spare and went spare to right rear, right rear to front right, front right to left rear, rear left to front left, and then front left becomes the spare. I did not balance any of the tires again(except the spare) and did not need any other alignment. Tires are wearing great and air...

I just did it at about 4,500. You will need another tpms sensor and to have the spare balanced. First truck I have ever done this with and not sure why. I think it's just a preference thing and no real right or wrong answer.

A real beadlock is absolutely a completely different animal all together. I'm just talking about the stock "beadlock" from Ford. That's why I write it as such. I looked and I paid 19.99(including shipping) for an OEM sensor. It appears they can be cheaper if you buy a set of 4. They are...

I just bought one OEM sensor to go in my spare and it was about 20 bucks and that includes shipping. I then had it put in my spare and it was another $20. So $40 for the whole process. 2018 with factory "beadlock" wheels. They also balanced my spare. Local tire shop.

Sorry, got busy and didn't get back on. It is the same filter that someone else already linked. I buy several at a time as I have on old Bronco I also use that filter for. I think I pay about 19 and some change for them. Haven't installed or used my Fumoto yet so can't really comment on...

Have only done 1 oil change so far(4,300 miles). I plan to add the fumoto valve, but switched to a Ford performance filter that is much bigger than the ones from the factory. Also, as most have said only hand tight for the most part. I am hopeful this filter with more surface area will be...

Again, I haven't installed(used) mine yet, but my SX came with a plastic white barbed nipple extension. It also came with the blue safety clip and two dust caps. Even without the extension I wouldn't be too worried about the hose leaking as the only pressure it will be under when the oil is...
