What was the problem with the tranny that required 2600 dollar fix and HOW did it occur?

Just a simple part failure. Could happen to anyone.

I'll know more tomorrow. However, this is the kind of failure that makes Ford look for tunes. Not worth the gamble to me as this truck is my daily driver.

PS sometimes stuff just brakes

Yeah...and I dont want to give them an easy out by saying the tune did it. The tune changes parameters that then gives Ford the leverage to deny waranty. If there is any history of a tune Ford will use that as an excuse. Sometimes, even if your service adviser approves the work, Ford will order a regional employee go on site to investigate. They dig deep if they sense any mods.

I'm at 29k. All service has been done at the dealer per the manual.

If I remember correctly the trans should be flushed at 60k and the coolant at 105k.

Exhaust is the best sound mod. Which one you thinking of getting?
