Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Transmission Fluid Shooting Out From Right In Front Of Oil Pan


Apr 11, 2016

I have 460 7.5L gasoline engine on a RV. After driving 300 miles straight and the front start smoking and I pulled over and saw the transmission fluid just shooting out from right in front of the trans oil pan, hot and steaming. Also saw the trail of oil a mile from where I stopped. All oil are gone. Next day go back and put in 2.5 gallons of oil until I see the oil dripping down the bottom. Drove to Aamco transmission, 12 miles down in 20 min. Nothing happen, not a drop coming out.

I left it there in the parking lot on Sunday. Today the shop called and said they found nothing wrong. They said I just overfill it and they drain down 1.5 quart, it is all fine now. Then I told them the story. I said the oil were shooting out and all empty out. I put in 2.5 gallons , not quarts. They said it didn't make any sense. I don't know what to tell them. The RV is still in his shop and he said he will look at it more and see what he find.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: F250 - Transmission Fluid Is Low / Slipping

1999 F250 SD... Tranny fluid is low, tranny slipped one time on me. I checked the fluid and it's low. No drips on the garage floor, so I'll have to inspect closer. But my question is can I add new fluid without screwing it up even more? It's got 170,000 miles and I doubt the fluid has ever been changed. I just bought the truck last week, so I can't say for sure, but it hasn't had a regular flush or change. It doesn't smell burnt but it's just a little darker than new fluid. I was told by the guy I bought it from that the torque converter was changed in it not too long ago.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2010 F250 - Changing Transmission Fluid?

I just bought this Super Duty with a 5.4L engine. I want to do a fluid change on the transmission. From what I read, this transmission needs to be hot flushed in order to change out all the fluid. I have not called my dealer yet to see if they do hot flushes. If my local dealer does not have this machine, can I just drop the old fluid from the pan and be ok? I have not gotten under the truck yet to see if it has an external filter.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2010 - Changing Transmission Filter And Fluid?

time to change the tranny fluid and filters on my 2010 F250. nothing in my owners manual about this.

All the parts look up places say I need 2 filters, the internal (FT-180) and an external (FT-145).

Problem is that I cannot seem to find the location of the external filter.

Doing some research, it looks like mid-08 the external was eliminated. So, do I have just the internal or do I have the 2?

Regarding the fluid. If I use the Maxlife dex/merc that says meets the LV spec, will that be ok to mix with whatever is in there now? (assuming LV, but I bought used with 145k on it, no idea if its been serviced before and if so, with what).

Going to check with dealer about the hot flush machine, but I really doubt they have one, and I'm kinda concerned about doing a flush at 150K not knowing the history of it.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2009 V10 4X4 - Changing Transmission Fluid And Filter?

Was going to change my transmission fluid and filter today but when I got under the truck to see what tools I needed, I was not sure I could drop the pan enough to get it off.

I have a 2009 V10 4X4 and the exhaust pipe catalytic are running down each side right under where the transmission pan is. It looks like I can get to all the bolts, but because of the catalytic are right under the flange of the pan on each side, the pan will not be able to drop straight down. It looks like it may drop about 3 inches before it hits the catalytic.

Will that be enough to slide the pan forward or maybe tilt it to get it out? Has anyone dropped the pan on their 4X4 with the 5RW100? Just looking to have someone say I can get it out before I try it.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: F250 6.0L 5R110W - Changing Transmission Fluid?

So I'm off work today, and want to service the transmission. I've got both filters, and a 18 quarts of SP, but am not familiar with this transmission, and understand there's no drain plug for the converter. Want to get all of the fluid out, best I can. I'm at 153,000 on this truck with no issues. I do not desire to flush, just want a fluid change.

Searching the forums brings up a lengthy list of transmission threads, but nothing yet that gives me the step-by-step.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Vibration - Fluid Coming From Front Driveshaft At The Tcase?

On my way to see my folks and I started feeling a vibration like driveshaft or wheel bearing between 45-55 mph then at about 75 then BOOM! Pulled over and found a pool of ATF thought my stock 4R100 just bit the dust but looking at it the fluid is coming from the front driveshaft at the Tcase. My hubs are unlocked and my ESOF is in 2HI but I assume my tcase was locked. Also since the tcase is probably screwed I'm goin to do the 271 with manual hub swap, how hard that is?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Fluid Leak On Left Rear Side Of Transmission Near Extension Housing

I just recently had to replace the extension housing on my truck. Well after doing so I went to start it up and top off the tranny fluid and it started to leak out on the left rear side of the transmission near the extension housing. Ive looked and looked and found that the fluid is coming from the top right in front of the extension housing but when i clean it off there seams to be no holes or cracks. It isn't the housing seal, cause it pools in front of that. What could be the issue? My truck is a 01 F250 4X4 5.4L.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2008 F250 - Front Wheel Brake Fluid Leak

I have a 2008 f-250 6.4 Diesel. Yesterday the Brake Fluid light came on. I thought maybe a sensor, but once I parked and checked I realized my brake fluid was down to the Min line. I started looking for a leak and it was apparent that it was the front drivers wheel area.

I am attaching a picture of the brake. The leak is either coming from the area where the fluid line runs into the gold thing (caliper?) or the bolt at the bottom of the gold thing.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 6.4L - Oil Leak From Rectangular Rubber Grommet On The Front Of Transmission Bell Housing?

Noticed a small oil spot on my drive way where i park my truck the other day. Got up underneath and saw it was leaking from a rectangular rubber grommet on the front of the transmission bell housing.

What could be causing this? Have heard a few different things, turbo line leak, turbo pedistals, HPOP leak. Seeing what Super Duty Nation thought of the problem. Going to the dealer sometime this week.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: How Often Flush Brake Fluid

Back, I flushed when it turned opaque...

Then I bought a car engineered to last more than just a couple 100K miles and was surprised to find a lot of items in the preventive maintenance list that I never thought about.

It recommended flushing every 30K or 2 years. A bit of research showed this was also recommended by several other manufacturers. Even more common with advent of ABS.

So now I try to flush at least every 2 or 3 years.

I still have not found any recommendations from Ford or GM? Either I'm blind or (cynic stepping in) they still don't expect vehicles to last that long... Or like to sell replacement parts?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2002 - Mixed Tranny Fluid?

2002 F250 5.4 Crew with limited-slip diff.

I put in about a quart of MERCON-compatible this weekend when the level was low. Found out that last tranny flush used MERCON V.

Now I have at least a quart of the MERCON-compatible in with the MERCON V fluid.

Should I not worry and just use MERCON V from now on, or will the two fluids have problems in my tranny?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Windshield Washer Fluid Pump Not Working

I have a 2005 F-250 6.0 Powerstroke.

My washer fluid pump is not working, it was a few weeks ago but now it is broken. The Owner's Manual only has the listing fuse 33 for "cluster, 4x4, wipers". It looks like some of the older models have an actual fuse for the "washer fluid pump". I checked fuse 33 under the dash and it is ok. What fuse controls the washer fluid pump?

The pump does not make noise when activated, so I'm starting at the fuse but I don't know what the hell is going on.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2005 - Windshield Fluid Turbo Injection?

I have a 2005 6.0 with 279k running pretty strong. I met a mechanic that has the same year truck with 700K!! He showed me one of his mods and he used a longer line on his windshield wiper fluid and put a Tee Connector on the line and ran it into his intake for the turbo. He said he will use it when cruising along sparingly but it cleans his turbo and such. Is this a water injection hack?
