I've had poor service experiences at Arundel Ford, Ira Ford Saco and Rowe Ford Auburn. Any recommendations on decent dealers for service in Maine?

Ok, interesting. I’m fairly light footed on the throttle as well. I’ve tried being a bit more aggressive with it but that just makes the shifts even harder

For comparison, I've felt every single shift in my 35,000+ miles - smooth as a cactus. Do you have AWD and/or 4k tow?

If yours is like mine, give it about a week or so and the shudder and rough shifts will return like before changing the fluid.

I had heard countless reports of people saying the 8F35 shifted rough and that it was worse if you had the 4k tow and AWD setup so I assumed that was just how these trucks drove. The paint was also failing on my trade-in vehicle and this was a time when there were no Mavericks to be found on any...

Have you reset the adaptive learning for the transmission yet? I’ve done the disconnect the battery method which has not made much of a difference but I’ve been wanting to do the forscan method.

Same. Cranking up the music fixes weird noises too!

So figured I'd update this thread. I tried to get three different dealerships to change the fluid for the RDU/PTU/transmission and was unsuccessful (that's a story for a different day). I decided to do it myself and I started with the RDU. It was properly filled from the factory and had the...

I know CV joints will have some in/out play but how much is normal? Both of my rear ones are like this video. I can also move it up/down, etc.

If you have a tonneau cover make sure leaves or other debris isn’t stuck between the rear glass and the front edge of the tonneau cover. I get noises from that happening on mine.

I've had this exact issue as well. Changing my RDU fluid took care of 95% of the problem. The initial acceleration is still a little "weird" but it's significantly better compared to before changing the fluid. Shifting through the first few gears overall is noticeably smoother now. The fluid...

I changed my RDU fluid today. It looked similar to yours but it seemed to be properly filled from the factory. I drained out 16oz and it started streaming out the fill hole after I had pumped 16oz back in. I moved the pump tube around and pumped some more in just to be sure. I'll do the PTU...

The past couple of weeks my 2024 has had a few moments when it revved 3-4,000 RPM instead of shifting. I let off the gas, hear a loud chirp/whistle sound, it finally shifts and I'm on my way. I'm guessing my transmission is on its way out at 33,000 miles.

To install it you need to drop the transmission out of the truck and split the case open…

Is that a Forscan function to monitor the temperature?

Just wanted to post a final update. Trip to the third dealership was today. Showed the service advisor and technician the videos of the noises and I reproduced both noises while the technician rode with me. They claimed the noises are normal, no issues found and they put a new state inspection...

I think in my case it’s just because I bought the upgraded instrument cluster used and the truck it came out of likely had push button start.

I also have this noise. Two dealerships have given me the "can't reproduce, there's nothing wrong with it, etc." run around. However, I decided to check the torque on my lug nuts and they were definitely not all torque properly. Since doing that the noise has semi gone away but there's still...

I put the instrument cluster with the larger display in my XLT. The first time I used the remote start after installing it, when I got in the truck the instrument cluster had a message on it that read "Press start to drive" and I had to laugh because my truck has a key ignition and not the push...

I got 31.5 MPG on a full tank. AWD, 4k tow with Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires. It was a mix of highway, back roads and in town driving. I usually average 29/30 MPG on most tanks in the warmer weather.
