2011 f350 transmission pump leak

Glad they are replacing it. Hopefully it works out this time. But, it seems like they should be able to hunt down the problem without having to put you thru all of this.

Update on this..

I have been back and forth to the dealer 4 times since this original post. The 4th time (today) was with a national ford service representative present.. Here is the history..

1st visit.. Tranny seals

2nd .. Tranny pump

3rd.. Filling it with liquid to find leak (did not work for whatever reason)

4th.. Ford rep, thought it was overfilled, they took some tranny fluid out, still leaked after the 50 miles they drove it

They Finally gave in to replace it with a new $6k tranny next week. The long time lapse between visits was me not having the time or availability to bring it to them(my daily driver and I use for work and play of course! ) I hope they don't mess it up or that the new tranny acts any different, as she never had a performance issue, it just leaked.

I hope not. I would think it would have been on the car fax? Dealer had that and it all added up and was clean.

Born in July and delivered in July and did not switch hands until this dealer received it.

Here's a thought, could this have been a lemon law buy back? Most note the word most don't trade off a one or two year old truck. Ask for the previous owners name and contact them. If they refuse to give it to you then do a title search from your States title office. Something seems rotten here.

When they open it up Monday, I will be there. I did recommend they not clean anything and look at the TC as that could be leaking.

I have not towed or had any weight on her yet, so I am hoping it it just a poor repair or diagnosis.

I remember reading about some early ones with leak issues from the welds on the TC. Just a thought.

Thanks Ib question answered

Apples to oranges. The trans in your 2001 has little in common with a 2011.

The new ones are computer controlled, and generally recommend towing in overdrive with tow/haul activated.

Yes, I just purchased this 2 weeks ago.. I did not notice the small leak coming from the tranny when looking it over those first few time at the dealer. Either way, it is still on warranty.
