Called Ford Corp. very nice lady walked me thru.. got case number and manager would be calling me in 2 days..

My dealer told me it was some kind a ring inside that needs to be replaced.. and needs to take out the transmission.. So have to drive a rental for couple days..

Waited almost 5`6 months.. guess Ill wait a little more...Cant wait to get her back!

Thanx for all the advice!

Shit fire! Take you trans out? You def should ASK for extended warranty as it seems your trans is defective and leaking. My concern is how long has it been leaking? And also, the yahoos at the dealership, have they ever encountered this before and do they know how to fix it.

50K truck with a leaking trans >> If Ford says it's no issue then the warranty will cost them nothing. If you don't get extra warranty and the trans poops out 36 months from now, then it will DEF cost you something.

Is there a "buyer remorse" or similar law in your state allowing for cancellation of sale within XX number of days? If so, you should take advantage of it and walk away.

Def go with the warranty or tell them you want a different one. That's not something that should be happening and since it did I would not personally feel right receiving a truck with a "fixed" transmission.

Well I am going to make sure they do something for me.. cuz I am worried later down the road...

Im not going to give Hell to my dealer.. cuz all they did was order.. and sell.. if they did service and something got fuked up.. Then yeah.. Ill bring HELL..

I just found out my buddy had a leak in his 11'.. not same.. but some where around the end of the shaft or something.. He called ford and they offer him a extended warranty.. but he declined.. so they bought the truck back..

That would be the worst case for me... but for now.. I cant wait to get my TRUCK BACK!

Thanx for all the support... Ill keep u updated on how Ford handles this..

My Dealer just dropped off a FX4 Eco boost.. instead of a rental car.. So for now..trying to be happy.

I would dog the **** out of the FX4! I have heard there is a good safe jump somewhere in Texas that F-150's love! Hey it has the same frame right?
