Camshaft positioning sensor.... not sure yet!

Oh by the way CHP I asked about the transmission thing, about how sometimes changing the fluid can cause your tranny to grenade, well they said that doesnt usually happen at the mileage that I am at. Only something with over 100,000 miles. I am currently at 77,746. I am hoping nothing happens to the trans. I do like to romp on it ALOT so I don't know how bad it will be if they change it. They recommended I do it now other than it being too late!

My buddy had like 70,000 miles on the odometer when he had it done but if most people can get their 4R100 transmission to go over 100,000 miles it's almost a miracle. I believe the issue he had with the transmission was Dealer isolated and not Dealer network wide.

If you haven't done the sonnax/tricumulator kit to your transmission you might wanna get on it

Wiper nozzle LED's are overrated--for real horsepower gains, you've got to go with the LED valvestem caps.

Thanks Bill, I jsut got the damage from the dealer, parts and labor is $369.00 (normally $439) and $125.00 for a trans flush. He also told me that he couldn't get any error codes out of the ECM because I must have had an aftermarket chip in the truck at some point. I told them yes. It doesn't matter cause it isn't under factory warranty. It is under aftermarket warranty, but that is a garunteed piece of BS! I am young and I learned to never purchase an extended warranty unless it is by the dealer that the vehicle is made by!

When my motor or trans takes a crap and dies I have to make sure I know how to clear the program from my computer so there is no trace of it if I try to go through my warranty company!

Also another thing that I learned! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SPARE CPS in your glove box! as for the 10mm wrench.... I have this sitting in the back of my truck: Sears Craftsman Tool Box
I Highly Recommend it!

Might check your sheet from the dealer and make sure they didn't flush/refill your tranny with Mercon V. That seems to be common practice around here and I'm willing to bet it causes most of the 4R100 failures with less than 100k miles.

Just my .02

725 HP--is that all? You know, if you add a bunch of stickers and a fart-cannon exhaust tip, that HAS to add at least 150 HP (10 per sticker and 100 for the tip)...


You also need to add one of THESE to your car "IF YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR CAR SOUND FASTER AND MORE AGRESSIVE BY ADDING A NICE HIGH-PITCH "SPOOLING" TONE:...

LMFAO! That was funny! Fart can! HAHA! As for the stickers that is done already. I'll post pictures eventually, just haven't had time tonight plus I just got my ex back.

It says 15 quarts of XT*2*QDX Fluid. Any idea what that garbage or stuff is? I drove it and it seems alright. Actually it seems to shift better instead of slipping it goes right into gear. I will have to see tomorrow on my way to work to get a good sense how it feels.

"XT2-QDX" is the Ford part number for Mercon ATF.



In case you're wondering, I didn't know that off the top of my head--I have my owner's manual on the desk and looked it up.

Cool Thanks! I probably could have looked it up but I was tired and the old lady was a little bit frisky last night.

I can't say I blame you, then, for not responding right away...

CHP,
What's the sonnax/tricumulator kit?
