Yep, that’s me. In the process of exploring the transmission I broke a wire. That part is currently out for repair and I’m just waiting for it to come back. I have a road trip coming up in a few weeks, so I’m anxious to reassemble everything and get it back on the road.
I reviewed all the video...
Still waiting on a wire pigtail to come it. In the attached video I show the symptoms of the truck moving under electric power, but failing when the engine kicks on.
Don't worry. Not dropping a dime at that dealer. Might reach out to Ford to see if they will comp me some parts.
Figured out the easy way to remove the electric motors. A 3" deck screw head and shaft fit perfectly in the slots of the motor. Screwed them in to a short section of 2x4 and pulled it...
Here you go. Very similar to the HF35 from the Fusion.
The large gear in the middle is the top gear on the transfer shaft. The shaft consist of three gears and ties all of the inputs/outputs together.
The shaft at the top of the photo is the input from the electric drive motor. It connects...
Transmission is out!
It is possible to pull the trans without dropping the engine. You have to remove the subframe and the SOBDMC from the top of the transmission and it is still tight. Cant pull it up and out, has to drop through the bottom. Was able to do it with two floor jacks, a...
Blackstone reports were very clear.
The engine oil was perfect. Transmission had 1089 ppm iron vs an expected average of 53. Nickel and Boron were slightly high as well. The additive package of the oil still looked good so this failure is not due to old/bad lubricant.
Started the process of...
Apparently not. What the dealer said is it Ford’s guidance is to reset the P 1061 code and retest. since I’ve gotten the truck back, I have reset the codes, there were a lot of them. I think many were due to the dealership moving the truck around or doing testing.
After the reset, I am down to...
“Did you have the transmission fluid serviced in the 109K miles? I intend on replacing the fluid after 40K.”
I do not. Ford calls for 150,000 mile service. This was so easy to drain and fill that I wish I had done it sooner. I’ll share the test results. Should have a good write up on the oil...
Ended up having the truck brought to my house. Dealer continuously ignored my request for the codes that pointed to the transmission. Also said that if the problem still existed after replacing the transmission that I would be liable for the cost regardless.
Since then I’ve pulled oil samples...
Got word back from the dealer:

I think the software update did what it was designed to do. The rod did not exit the block and the truck shut down. I think the squeak was the bearing starting to lock. Had a wheel bearing go bad (different vehicle) and it made a similar noise. No oil or fluid loss. I follow oil changes...
I’ll start by saying I drive a lot. Got the truck in June 2023 and have 109,000 miles. 100 mile round trip commute adds up quick!
The Maverick has been great, until this week. Driving into work and heard a loud squeak sound. Almost like a slipping belt, but I know the truck has no belts...
