Smart Man, and how many Ford 350's in the group also replaced or repaired the worthless trany's. Since 98. I can never rely on people to transport bobcats at a moments notice, because they call back saying their tranny is out. One other note people, quit leaving the button on the shifter in overdrive when pulling loads. You force the tranny to do things at it's weakest link. My next one will only have a Allison Automatic period. The Ford automatics are junk. Stop by any truck tranny shop and just walk around asking stupid questions to the techs. Act as if you don't know a thing, but want advice on what not, or what should. Now you get the real story. Not just opinions. I used to rebuild automatics for auto applications, and it's not that difficult. In an hour, one can be ready to reinstall it. I think the main problem with Ford is always trying to use the smallest components to save a dime here, and there. In my honest opinion, there is no excuse for the crap they throw at us for a one ton truck. If your a contractor of any type that pulls Bobcats, there is no good reason why the tranny can't perform flawless for years on a daily basis. If Allison can do it, then Ford should be one up on it, not the lowest. If some, all they do is haul groceries, then they have no clue what we're talking about. You can't compare apples and bananas I plow snow for a living with a ten ton tandem full of dirt, and not once has it failed. It's a train on rubber wheels with the Allison.
