Thanks for this write up. While I understand what you’re saying it’s really annoying, especially when you’re trying to have a nap or something in the truck. If I turn it off turn yourself off. Weird logic.

I’ve been noticing for a while that when you shut the truck off. Sound system off and the main screen powered down that every so often you can hear a slight pop from the speakers as if they are still “on”. It happens when you turn the truck off without getting out or just go back to the truck...

I use Pennzoil Euro 5w-40 in the Powerboost and have done so since dumping the initial fill at 1000km. 100% happy with the choice as generally DI engines with their fuel dilution will shear down the weight of the oil. That -40 will quickly become a -30. If you start with a -30 you’ll end up...

Dealerships probably get a decent cut from the folks over at BG. When I had a DI VW the service writers loved to try to upsell me on the BG services. They can sell it as a service/flush vs. actually doing the filter change which takes a while and probably has a book time associated with it.

I suppose. Seems like a lot of cost for something that doesn’t fully service the trans. You’d really want it replaced and those magnets to be clean again.

Ok but they didn’t change the filter so the flush is useless. If you have an external filter sure a flush works because ‘dirty’ fluid is all throughout the trans. With an internally mounted and baffled filter everything post-filter is already ‘clean’ in a sense. That filter still has 100% of any...

That is so absolutely wrong. I’d 100% take it back for a refund. You cant ‘flush’ a filter that only flows one way. I’ve held one of these filters outside the truck and they are a fully contained assembly with internal magnets to hold contaminants and need to be changed during servicing by...

I’ve been watching it more since originally posting this thread and the 6 to 5 downshifts are definitely the worst when it comes to overall smoothness of the trans. Also what’s sort of unfortunate is when starting from a stop the truck used to get moving in electric at least up to a few 5mph or...

Well my previously good transmission has been jerky, what some would say is shuddering ever since that last OTA update a few weeks ago. Whatever Ford did changed how it shifts, not for the better at least in my truck.

I’ve had my PB since late September and I’ve pretty much touched on every issue that comes up on these forums but I still love the truck and the fact that it is a PB. To the OP as I mentioned on your Reddit post - this truck is more like a computer and is clearly very software based. The rough...

That’s why I did the Spicer diff cover too. I haven’t thought about the transmission fluid change but why would it be hard? Can you not gravity fill it? I had to do that on my DSG VW trans before using a top fill method, that being through the top mounted filter. Could you not how up a hose to...

Glad to hear the Spicer magnetic drain plug did its job. I was thinking of letting it go for quite a while till 60k miles or so but now you’re making me think that a second change sooner might be a better idea.

Same. I’d say mine was good 99% of the time. The only odd shift it would do is be a bit harsh/laggy? when going from Drive to Reverse. The actual driving was great. Now it feels like it’s hanging on upshifts in the lower gears and falls flat on its face when it comes to downshifting 6>5>4...

If you get that done let us know how it works out. It’s really annoying that they’d even mess with the transmission OTA. I mean I get it, some people have issues with the transmission and how it shifts but that should be an update that you can tell your dealer to patch for you. Why even chance...

Just for more visibility to them. My transmission was buttery smooth most of the time prior to that update and now the transmission is jerky especially on downshifts into 9th and 5th. If you’re accelerating and it’s upshifting into those gears and you suddenly need to brake it feels like the...

FWIW ever since that last update about a week ago my transmission and general jerkiness (if any) is way worse than in was prior to that update. My transmission was really smooth 99% of the time pre-update and now there are noticeable jerks especially on downshifts.

I’m on my second left hand cat right now - just had it replaced two weeks ago at 11,000km. I took a look at it after it came off and there was no obvious elements broken inside. I’m going to guess that the failures, CEL’s are due to the constant, stop, start and limited temperature that these...

-Tuxmat -Bedrug -Check your transmission pan for any weeping

Swapped out the stock rear cover for the Dana Spicer / Ford Performance one today at 9000km and the diff fluid was very dark grey/black - Not that the color necessarily means it’s no good but I’d highly recommend an early change out after seeing that.

I don’t have a 2.7 but those are interesting. Used to have a VW and it’s very similar to an OEM 2.0T FSI filter from a VW GTI. Mann Hummel makes those.
