Another reason I hate my F150
On the way home from work while in my 2013 F150 5.0 Coyote with 133K I noticed a white cloud of smoke in the rear view. Before I could pull over a wrench symbol popped up then I could feel the tranny start to slip.
Wonderful!
I pulled over and by then that was it. I popped open the hood and the front of the motor as well as everything in front of the radiator was covered in tranny fluid. Ooooops sure looks like the line let loose to the cooler somewhere.
I was about 4 miles from home so no big deal. I called the wife after walking 1/2 a mile before I had cell service. I figured I'd just add fluid to get it home then deal with it but.......No dipstick or fill tube.
LOL......hahaha....Muhahahahaha. WTF!
That's special. So a $75 rollback trip gets it to my son's house, I'll let him deal with the greasy leaking POS.
I guess I'll need to drive my 15 GMC for a few days, which has a fill tube and dipstick.
I can see why they (Ford) have that stupid arrangement. It may work well on a car or SUV but on a pickup? Come on, what a PITA situation.
