Why am I not surprised... :lol:Talked to ford.There's zero transmissions available currently.
Wtf!?!Talked to ford.There's zero transmissions available currently. There is front cases which would require swapping guts to new case. Something I don't want, I want a factory built trans. They agree but said ford is paying the bill so they do what ford says. However he said even though front cases are available the seal kit is not available. At that point he says he'll fight to get new trans.
Is that high oil pressure normal at such low RPM?I have a 17 with the same problem..
Takes about 10 miles of driving before it's almost not noticeable any longer.
I'm wondering if it's an oiling issue.. Seems to go away once the oil pressure goes down, thinking it may be thin enough to get somewhere it needs to be going at that point.
Mine also sits at 80 psi when first started cold. Sometimes close to 90 if it's frigid out.That's a great question.. Can't say what is correct as it has always run high when cold. It normally runs around 80 psi when first started..
Edit.... Looks like 80ish seems normal from what I'm looking at online. Who knows.. Ford service looks at it tomorrow.
Time to sacrifice a chicken or something so they don't mess it up.
Yeah, I'm thinking it's something like that as well. It really just sounds like a sewing machine. I have a chassis ear, but really don't feel like chasing it down. I'll let Ford figure it out.I know that this thread is 5.0 related, but my 2.3 has been doing the same since I can remember until the oil is fully warmed up, at least during the cold months here in NJ. As far as pressure goes, I'm seeing around 90psi by 3k rpm when the oil is cold. I'm thinking that the knock is timing chain / tensioner related with the cold thick oil not being able to get inside the tensioner enough for it to create the necessary pressure on the chain?
