Good idea, I would but it was assessed with 37s on claim and they dropped/voided warranty.

How your 1st Gen doing?
Yeah, that’d be great and highly appreciated. I’m willing to take a drive up there if it all works out. I can send you a personal message if you’d like, or feel more comfortable sharing his contact that way. Thank you for the help.

how about finding a used one from a wreck ? ebay $1400 . https://www.ebay.com/itm/2017-2020-...805973?hash=item1cfd3e5915:g:rMoAAOSwiHVf7RWO

There is a dealer in AZ selling motorcraft reman 6 speeds for 2300 + core. Not sure what he is selling motorcraft 10 speeds for. San Tan ford

Probably should make sure no damage to the transfer case or torque converter

A lawsuit would resolve that warranty issue pretty quick. Don’t let them get away with BS like tire size frying the trans.

You’d only end up with a stack of attorney fees. Unless stated otherwise, the warranty only covers the vehicle is it’s factory configuration. Increasing tire size places additional load on the driveline and will negatively affect the transmission shift strategy. OSS will not correlate with wheel speed and will skew shift strategy, both of which can result in a variety of concerns including clutch damage.

Was the transmission ever serviced? There’s a certain way to do it if not properly done it will destroy the transmission. I just went threw it after my dealership recommended it. Lucky for me they replace the trans with a brand new one. but I had similar situation. made a pop. Smoked and under the truck was covers in trans fluid. Would drive good for short periods of time but after an hr of driving it would bang into gears, slip and spit fluid out.
