Has this happened to you? Trans problem
 

I just updated my edge Evolution two night ago. Then the next day I replaced to factory battery on the driver side. And all of a sudden my trans started to act funny. Like from a dead stop it would act like it was out of gear or in a higher gear. And it is totally random. doesnt always happen. Fird dealer has it now. But the ECU is but posting any error codes. The dealer had to call a ford hotline. I beleave they are resetting my ECU. So has this happened to you. Oh I have only own this truck for maybe 5 weeks.
Afterthought
Maybe I should get ahold of edge. I hear bully is the way to go. So maybe I should get rid of the edge?

I would have gotten the adrenaline but any codes?
:humm: whens the last time trans was serviced? :w2:
I`m sure someone with more knowledge on fords will be along soon with there input

Wow no thats never happened to me lol. Get rid of that Edge and DO NOT GET BULLY DOG!!! THATS NOT THE WAY TO GO!The greatest thing for the 6.0L is the SCT! Get the SCT X3 from Innovative Diesel and get custom tunes! You will be amazed at the amount of power you will get from the custom tunes. Call up Innovative Diesel and talk to them about the SCT X3. :U:

:argh:Sct cool will lookin to it. I called edge and got a couple of ideas to try. Dealer wanted 1500. for a new pcm, Ouch. Right now the truck is set back to stock settings and they are going to drive it around the block and see whats happens. So waiting on a phone call. Will keep you posted.

Got phone call still acting weird,When they use a diff pcm all is good.:argh: :ouch:

:argh: $1500! wow hopefully its covered under warranty right...........? If its not i'd ask for a used pcm. I got one for like $500 i think.

do you know where I can get a used one?

Well i got mine from a local repair shop......just look up your repair shops and give them a call.

Thanks for the heads up on the used PCM. I found one for $400. But the torque converter blew metal all thru my trans. SO I went used with that to. Found one for 2,100. Should have truck back by tuesday. Any ideas how i blew my pcu by jumping truck. Or adding new battery? I had that edge but the only mod i used was eco. But When I jumped it something went hair wire. SO totally scared off after market chips right now.
Hope everyone had a great easter.

Wow i've never heard of a torque converter blowing up by jumping it....i bet some ford guru will be on here reading this thread soon. Glad i could help you out with the PCM. Well be scared of every aftermarket chip except SCT! SCT isnt a chip its a programmer and you will fall in love with it's custom tunes. :U: Happy Easter

NO the pcm got damged by jump or when i replaced battery. Then the trans mission did not have a proper mode it was set in. Ford said it was actting like it was in 5th gear. OK If I got a SCT How would I chance truck back to stock. Does it keep the stock codes and the custom tunes. In it memory? How and the price is right on the sct. I went and looked at them. Do you ran the touch screen pad to?

Well i know you can change it back to stock but i think once you get it running on some custom tunes you wont want to take it off :w2: No a lot of people dont like the touch screen for some reason......ive heard some good things about it too. Im still waiting to buy my SCTX3. Just send an email to eric at innovative or call them. I dont know alot about this programmer.....im still learning. So just pm me whenever you talk to them and let me know if you do get the SCT and the custom tunes. :pca1:

ok sorry i have been mia but my jobs takes me away form the internet. Any way, OK so after all that I had a new pcm and rebuild trans, really just the torque convertor. wife bought truck home while i was at work. Ok then about two after pick up she needed truck. It started doing the same thing. less then 30 miles since shop had it. So back to ford they said something Pcm blow and alot more of the trans. So in come the expert that the ford dealing came in. OK I am still at work while all this is going on. My wife has been handling all that. So anyway I get back to a phone call the dealer ship talk to my service guy he says that a pin on the wire that rans form the pcm to the trans has a melted pin. And now the pcm i need is on national waiting list, great.
Anyway called today truck will be done tomorrrow.
No seems to know how that pin got damaged. So there we are.
Ps. ANyone have a 4" superlift kit on, Any deslikes or likes

Nothing wrong with programmer ,simple fix unhook both batterys for 2mins ,hook back up put prog,back to factory settings our 0, let trans,relearn is self,start with towmode run up to 3gear,back down run to 4gear,stop shut truck off let set 30sec,restart put in drivemode.:c: Then put prog, back to second setting.

Everytime the batteries die or are disconnected the truck needs to do the tranny relearn process.

Your dealer sounds like a complete hack. They told you for a fact its the PCM, then they change it and it does the same stuff? I'm scared and it's not even my truck.

Get rid of the edge, that will only further transmission issues.

SCT all the way.

It sounds like you are having the same problem that I had a couple of years ago with mine only diff is that my dealer took the time to figure out what was actually going on. It came down to 3 of the solenoids in the tranny. The one that locks the torque converter and 4th and 5th gear. When they get stuck from junk or whatever it won't send any codes, the truck will just keep eating the tranny. Mine took a little over eight hours of driving with ford diagnostic computers hooked up to find problem. As an avionics electrician I can tell you to have them show you this "melted Pin" because pins don't melt unless it melts the plug it is housed in as well. If I were you I would change shops. By the way they also will not be able to mimic the problems by changing parameters.

I've seen quite a few guys have issues with the solenoids on other forums, but it's nearly impossible to get the dealers to fix this under warranty. It's about $200 to buy all 6 of the solenoids new from Ford. $200 for anything on these trucks is kind of cheap...

You can also get an upgraded solenoid too from Suncoast, and they can be programmed by a few different guys.

Do yall think it might be because he didnt retrain his tranny after installing his tuner? Eric told me after installing to drive with my foot on the brake for a mile or so in each gear to relearn the shift points. Just throwing that out there.
