2012 Raptor with 173,000 miles here, currently getting my transmission replaced. They said if I replaced the broken sensor it wouldn’t shift well and all sorts of salesman talk but I coughed up the money because I figured it’s gotta happen eventually.

Could you give more detail on the transmission? Service history, what it was doing, and what sensor?

Just hit 200.000 miles this morning, over 80k in 3.5 years!

There is a bunch of PM stuff to do in the next couple weeks.
Plugs, wires, fluid change (trans, front and rear diff, transfer case and maybe coolant flush)

whens the last time you did the trans? probably not a good idea to do the trans unless its been done frequently. can drop the pan and replace whats there, but a full flush, probably shouldnt do it on a 200k mile vehicle.

Drain and fill still good? I wouldn't flush it either.

Yes, the plan is to only do filter and fluid fill on the transmission, not a full flush.

I am also mentally and financially preparing myself for a transmission rebuild/replacement...

Been a while since I've checked out the forum, but thought I'd chime in on this thread.

Bought a 2013 Screw new in August 2013 and have enjoyed every mile! Currently have 192K on it, and have only had a couple of minor issues until earlier this week.

Replaced inner and outer pinion bearings in the rear end and replaced a rear wheel seal at 125K. Otherwise, it's been standard maintenance such as oil and filter (Mobil 1) every 10K, transmission flush and filter at 75k and 150K, new plugs at 100K and 191K (2 weeks ago), and a couple of sets of brake pads and a new set of rotors.

Earlier this week, I was leaving work when it dropped a valve with no warning. Was cruising on a 2 lane road at 45 mph under no load. Truck vibrated for maybe 30 seconds (felt like a flat front tire), then completely died. Immediately shifted to neutral and coasted to a stop. After getting it towed back to the shop, we pulled the valve covers and found a broken spring on #6. Removed the mangled spark plug, then scoped the bore to take a peek at the carnage.

Looks like I'll be adding an engine replacement to the list, and am also considering a transmission rebuild while it's in the shop.

I'm at 186k...moving valve springs up the list. How bad did the piston and bore look??
