I have an 04 f-150 supercrew 4x4 lariat with 103k miles that has a pretty bad vibration between 45-50 after it switches into overdrive, when you turn overdrive off the problem goes away. I've taken it to the dealer and they put shutter guard in it an said to let it work through for a couple hundred miles. It still hasn't gotten any better, what it is?
View 3 RepliesI just bought an 04 excursion with the 6.0 diesel. I took a trip to vegas and noticed a humming/ vibration about 55-65mph only in overdrive. i have checked u joints and they look good. The x does have a small lift its the bracket kit with stock springs. What gets me is, I don't notice it driving in town only in overdrive at highway speed.
View 8 RepliesMy passenger and back door windows won't open with the use of their switches. I can open all three with the master control. I thought the master switch was bad and replaced it. The problem persists. Are these individual switches for the passenger and back doors in series, where one goes out and none work ?
View 4 RepliesI have an 05 f150 5.4 and when it shifts into overdrive the whole truck starts jerking, if I turn overdrive off it shifts and runs smooth through all other gears. When it does start jerking if i give it gas and speed up it stops and runs smooth?
View 9 RepliesWell this weekend I'm doing quite a bit of work to the truck. My tires and exhaust got delivered last night, now I'm just waiting on the leveling kit. Here's my issue:
For a little while now (5k-ish miles) going in and out of overdrive the tranny makes a clunk noise during the shift. Time to change the tranny fluid and filter? I am making a trip up north on Sunday and don't want to have the tranny the bed on the way.
On saturday I am doing the leveling kit (2"), brakes, exhaust (MBRP), and new tires (325/60r20 Terra Grapplers). Should I go ahead and do the tranny fluid and filter while I'm at it, or just wait till I get back. I am figuring on about 2k miles throughout the trip.
I have a 2004 Fx4 that I took on a cross country trip this past weekend. Everything was running fine until I stopped for the night and got a hotel. Woke up the next morning and the "O/D Off" light was illuminated on the dash and the overdrive toggle button (on mine, on the center console next to the console mounted shifter) doesn't work to turn overdrive back on. When I got on the highway it wouldn't upshift into overdrive.
Hopefully this is just the switch assembly (?) so I won't have to do any major tranny work . . . However, I found it weird that if the switch failed it didn't fail in overdrive since I was running in overdrive the day before.
Also, any link to a good thread about removing the trim on the center console in those trucks to get to the switch assembly? I assume that's a pretty easy job but I've never dug into the console before.
My 2005 4.2 L transmission slips in overdrive but I turn off overdrive and it stops slipping instantly. What could be the reason for this does this require an entire trans rebuild or is it an easy fix.
View 1 RepliesI have lost drive and overdrive. I have first and second and when I let off the gas pedal everything seems normal. When I am in drive with overdrive switched off and keep a steady speed it doesn't shift into drive. When I let off the gas in drive the tach goes to 1k and its like I'm in neutral. If I switch OD on it's like neutral and the engine revs. I have pulled the pan and valve body and do not see any metal.
OD snap ring is intact. Fluid looks good with no burnt smell...I'm thinking shifting solenoids but have not tested them yet. There is no grinding noise at all and no slipping in first and second gears. It threw cam sensors codes and I replaced both but I think that was from the neutral condition and test drove before dropping the pans and still no shifting to drive or OD. No transmission codes...
I have a 2006 F150 5.4L 3V with 105,000 miles on it. Recently, it has developed a misfire that is progressively getting worse. It happens when the truck is in overdrive, with engine RPM between about 1200 to 1800. Cruising at this RPM the truck runs great. If I increase the throttle, I develop a pronounced misfire. Once the truck down shifts out of OD and engine RPM exceeds 2000 RPM the misfire goes away. I have never had the CEL light come on during any of these events. The truck has the original plugs in it AFIK. I have not changed them.
View 6 RepliesI have an 06 Lincoln MK LT with 147K miles. Just recently when it went into overdrive it was like I shifted into neutral. Pushed the overdrive off button and it drove just fine although no 3rd gear (overdrive). what do I need to do here other than paying for new tranny.
View 2 RepliesLost overdrive. Shifts when o/d disengaged. Dropped pan, valve body and found that the servo retaining ring is still intact but the small clip for the center shafts of the servo was broken. Found it loose on the valve body along with a flat piece of metal shaped like half of a hexagon. 3 sided shape, approximately 1 inch each side. Like one 6 inch piece that's folded together. Don't know where that came from. Afraid to put back together without knowing where that came from. Was founded right next to the broken clip. 2007 f150 4.6 4x2 ....
View 13 RepliesI just bought a 2007 f150 4x4 5.4 triton with 69 thousand miles less than a month ago. Since then the transmission has been rebuild but come to find out a misfire will cause overdrive to act up, and it just recently started misfiring badly. It was throwing a code. 2 coils were replaced and still misfiring. It's not throwing a code anymore. No check engine light flashing or nothing.
View 1 RepliesI have a 2004 f150 with an edge programmer. My transmission will only stay in 3rd gear, the overdrive light is flashing, and it is giving these dtc's: p0720, P0722, P0731, P0732, P2106.... What is going on?
View 1 Replies06 with 5.4 and AT. It shudders in overdrive during light to no acceleration. I was told it was the converter. I was also told by a technician in a trans shop that the Trans-X additive for hypoid oil in a posi-trac was ok to use even though the back of the tube says "Not safe for automatic transmissions". Do this is accurate or if the guy was just blowing smoke?
View 5 RepliesI just bought a 2007 fx 4 with 116000 miles it has the triton 5.4. I know I test drove it good etc well I am out of town with work right now and drive it on a 400 mile trip and noticed that when you are in overdrive and going up a small incline it acts like the truck is locking up, if i get on the gas a lil and make it shift it stops.
The truck shifts smooth and everything on this truck is tight no clunks or nothing. Ihope its not the transmission and sometimes after putting it in park and idling and turnings steering wheel it will start idling really rough . What could this be only does it speeds 50-57 like i said if i make it shift it stops....
As the title states I have a 2001 f250 with the 5.4 4x4 and lately the auto headlight / overdrive fuse keeps blowing. Both seem to function just fine but a couple of days later the fuse will be blown. I am not functioning the OD button when it blows so I'm guessing its something with the headlights. What else does that fuse protect?
View 2 RepliesOn my 2006 Ford F150 2WD, v6 automatic, the overdrive dash lamp is blinking, I get a engine light and the code I get is a P0743. That indicates the solenoid or wiring is bad, but everything works just fine. The transmission is running fine, clear fluid - no odor. The overdrive works and the truck shifts like new. When I start, the "OD-OFF" light immediately starts blinking and never changes. I can activate the OD normally and it doesn't effect the blinking light.
Where to start? I suspect that since all is functioning well, the issue is with the signal to the ecm? By the way, I can clear the code so that the engine light goes off, but the "OD-OFF" light remains blinking.
I recently had u joints and left front wheel hub assembly replaced at a local mechanic. Ever since I have a vibration between 40-45 and 52-62, the vibration can be felt in the steering wheel, the seat and the floor. The mechanic claims I need a new driveshaft as some of the counter weights were starting to rust. I indexed and removed the drive shaft and had it rebalanced at a local machine shop. This did not solve the vibration problem. There is also a transmission leak starting from the extension housing. How I can start to trouble shoot the problem. 04 F150..
View 2 RepliesRecently got in to a 2008 F150 STX.
I started noticing a vibration in the truck when reaching 55-60mph. Anything under that is a smooth ride but like clockwork, once I reach around 55, a vibration I feel in the cabin kicks in.
I just took it to a Ford service dealer around my way and they inspected everything about the tires, including alignment and all was good. That was my first guess and what I heard is most common with this issue.
What would be the next possible culprit? A belt maybe? Kinda lost on where to move forward without spending all kinds of dough on testing.
I have had a 2004 Extended Cab F150 5.4L for a few months now. It just started vibrating at speeds between 15 and 30mph on accelerating or deceleration. Doesn't matter if I'm turning or going straight, just those speeds. It's fine otherwise. I put it in gear and held the brake down and brought the rpms up to 3000 to see if it would shake with a load, thinking a possible misfire, but nothing abnormal.
It's an automatic transmission. I started off in 1 and 2 and it seems to lack power until it shifts to 3rd gear - which is about 30mph. It also seems to lack power in reverse ... no slipping, but seems to have to give a lot of gas in order to go over the slightest incline backing up.
I have a 2007 ford f150 supercrew. I have a vibration in the front end at around 55mph. Doesn't vibrate at lower speeds or when you get above 60 mph. I have replaced the struts and just put new Michelin tires on it. Wheel bearings feel fine and front end bushings, tie rods and control arms look fine to me. It feels like the vibration is coming from the left side. I read somewhere that a possible cause is an upper control arm.
