WWID F150 edition

[Pat McRotch]

I'll be short here.

2019 f150. Trans shit the bed which I found is very common. Truck sat at the dealership for 2 months before they called me today to say it's fixed under warranty BUT on the 3rd test drive, the CEL came on. It's the fuel tank pressure sensor throwing the code. This is not under warranty and will cost $850 to fix.

My question, because it sat for 2 months, could that be a reason for this sensor to fail? Should I throw a fit or no?

 

[Captain Call]

Tell them the 2 months lost you $10,000 in revenue without the truck and then ask them where to send the bill.

 

[DMG]

I would clear the code and see if it returns.

Don't let them fix it and go get your truck. Clear the codes yourself and drive it to see if the CEL comes back at all or how quickly if it does. FTPS code isn't going to keep the truck from doing truck stuff.

Could be a simple as a loose gas cap

Could be a simple as a loose gas cap

Or a tight one from sitting and heat cycles without the pump moving any fluid. Clear that bitch and run it, if it come back diag it from there.

 

[MuntCuffin]

With these guys, go get your truck. 10 speed?

Do the 2019s even have gas caps?

No cap on a 2019

 

[Pat McRotch]

Yes

 

[MuntCuffin]

Yes

They say what the failure mode was?

Just curious. I know the 6 speeds had problematic thermal bypass valves that would trash the trans if not caught early enough. Gives funky symptoms when it starts overheating. Never played with a 10 speed.

 

[DozerDan82]

Well shit, I guess I don't own anything new enough to remember that dumb fuckery they did. I was thinking it could just be a vapor lock type code from sitting.

 

[Gbkeith]

Fire up your unimog and go get the truck. If you wait too long they’ll establish squatters rights.

my '14 doesn't

 

[Steve300xcw]

How's the insurance on it?

 

[SLOWPOKE693]

No cap on a 2019

Still go get it and clear the code yourself.

CDF drum

But that flap still has to seal.

The absolute fuck?


Sounds like a dodge ecodiesel radiator situation. Id get ahead of it now and get rid of that mother fucker today.

 

[arse_sidewards]

You didn't catch wind of it the first dozen times hie bitched about it?

And replace it with what?

If he wanted something that is tried & true he’d be driving a 20 year old truck, (and those ate transmissions too),

This is what advancement looks like, apparently.

A 2000 super duty with the 7.3 has the same basic thing.

 

[KungFooMASTA]

When I first met my wife I was being a nice guy trying to help her fix her cel on her 2015. It ended up being that vapor sensor on top of the fuel tank. I was re thinking why I was being so nice to some random new woman I met while I was under her truck. To make it easy just go ahead and pull the driveshaft out. I tried doing it with it still in and finally gave in and pulled the driveshaft then it was easy.

The radiator or the fuel thingy that kills the transmission?

The rad system has been used for decades on all makes of vehicles, in every country, dodge/mfg just managed to fuck those particular ones up.
The issue was how it was handled with the customers.

I couldnt tell you anymore, seems to be most everything is a disasterous pos after 2y.

Ive been seeing every bitch about the trans in all the ford trucks i will never own so i hadnt paid attention to the cause.

 

[SomeGuyFromOlympia]

did you put 3000.00 down on it before you left the truck?

The thing that we have been bypassing for 25 years that may have killed his transmission

The 4R100 is a pressure bypass. It’s only supposed to flow fluid through the bypass when the cooling loop is severely restricted.

What state are you in? I'd think this would be covered under the separate emissions warranty

True but they stick and kill transmissions.

Helluva lot more "reliable" than a wax motor.
