Eating Trannys

$180 is what Sunrise quoted me. My local dealer wants $240

Welp, that one lasted 700 mi. At the track last night and on the second pass I lost all movement. Codes were P0751, P0766, P2700, P2703.

Dang dude your trans trouble are starting to look like Corbin's.

Corb@CorbinShipping · Jun 16, 2013

Hey man, I was going through the same type of stuff. I went through 4 transmissions in 4 months on the 450. Different case every time. Metal in the trans, TCs all were getting crushed. Snapped an intermediate, AND crushed the TC... Only thing that I did not replace was the TCM... Everything else was replaced. Cooler, every time I swapped trans, different TCs, even the last one was a STOCK TC with no shift kit. Mine never threw a code, like a bad TCM or anything. And I was only in the 500-600 hp range on the 450.

I say try a new TCM.

I thought about that after the last time. I thought this time it was good, but it again proved me wrong. What does a TCM cost? Does it have to be tuned any special way to install it?

I'd just call Sunrise Ford on here. As far as install, I would imagine that Wayne or other mechs on here can chime in as far as installation procedures, and I would imagine, tuning options. Prob just take it to a dealer with the stock tune loaded, just to get the Factory Ford Flash on a new TCM... IDK, my fix for my phucked up trans was a 2013 F-350.... LOL

Will a Spartan TCM work even if you are not Spartan ECM tuned. I remember seeing one in classifieds but not sure if that could be an option or not.

I blew my tranny with just a tune, ford replaced it two days later it blew again, replaced it and a month later it blew again, everytime ford installed a new cooler. I guess they got tired of it and did some investigating and turned out my tcm was bad. seems like your only thing that hasent been replaced yet

That should work on my 2010? Pm me a price if you would, Mike.

3brorce · Jun 16, 2013

Ya, that'll work.

Fenner408 · Jul 3, 2013

Have you guys heard anything about a bad ground causing the converter to arc through the pump?

And we would have never known. Thanks for that jewelLOL

I know my trans was actively working its way out prior to the build so I have a new cooler and lines for the trans build. After hearing the issues with you and corb I wonder if throwing a fresh tcm in would be a proactive move.

Fenner408 · Jul 4, 2013

Supposedly this isn't related to the TCM. Its just a bad ground somewhere. I guess there is a service bulletin on it somewhere. That being said, I'm still swapping the TCM. I want this to be the last time.
