    5r110w ATF options / opinions

    After lots of investigation and questions you guys have answered I've found Motorcraft Mercon LV for only $10 more per case than the Valvoline so, for the only slight difference difference in price I'm going to stick with the OEM fluid. I'll most likely leave the original pan and screen type...

    5r110w ATF options / opinions

    Being that I'm getting a lot of good feedback on this subject. Would it be better money spent to stay with my original pan and screen filter and ad this external filter or go with my original plan of upgrading to the newer pan and filter? I know doing both would be best but the upgrades on these...

    5r110w ATF options / opinions

    The Motorcraft LV seems to be cheaper than the SP when pricing online that's why I was asking.

    5r110w ATF options / opinions

    Everyone keeps talking about the LV. Which one is supposed to be used in the 5r110w ? Or can you use either one? I thought the 5r110w called for the SP. Never mind found the answer. https://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricants.com/main/quickref/atf.pdf Apparently LV replaced SP. Trying to do the...

    I know for sure that the Valvoline MAXLIFE says on their spec sheet that it meets the spec for Ford Mercon SP.

    5r110w ATF options / opinions

    What exactly do you mean by the factory recommended oil? Actual Motorcraft ATF? I'm sure all the big name full synthetic ATF oils meet the Ford spec so I'm just trying to clarify.

    5r110w ATF options / opinions

    115,000 miles on the clock looking to do a flush and filter change myself at home. Going to upgrade to the 08 and up style pan and filter. What I'm wanting to know is from the videos I've watched seems most are using the Valvoline Max Life full synthetic ATF. Was also thinking of going that...

    Non Chemical Flush Question

    This is similar to the route I went. I drained the coolant with the drain on the radiator and the drivers side block drain as it's easy to get at. Flushed and drained a couple of times with my city water with a filter. Then filled with the Restore additive and drove the truck for the required...

    6.0 FICM repair help

    My 2005 Excursion with 115,000 miles has recently started having issues starting especially when cold. It has the dreaded P0611 code. At this time it will still start and run. Sometimes it starts fine and sometimes it cranks for a while and then runs rough. I live in Michigan so we get some...

    Help needed. Truck won't start.

    I didn't put this in my first post but I'm using a street MM with MCC unlock and GH tunes. I had a small battery charger on 6 amp setting on while I was loading different tunes. The batteries are probably the originals (2010)? The first 2 times everything worked fine. After that one time it...

    MAJOR HELP needed. Transfer case issues

    I agree that if it had a manual t-case this wouldn't be an issue. But that's why I have a warranty. I shouldn't have to worry about how long or how many hours. (sucks for the tech) I'm just trying to help myself out so they don't have my truck forever. Haven't found a dealership that gives out...

    MAJOR HELP needed. Transfer case issues

    Another small update. Drove it this morning with the t-case shift motor unplugged. On the way to where I was going no 4wd light flashing on the dash. Shut it off started it back up and it started flashing 4 low. So it's doing the same thing even though the motor is unplugged.

    MAJOR HELP needed. Transfer case issues

    Try to answer your questions in order. Not sure on the switch or the parts? Haven't tried unplugging the switch yet. Unplugged the motor and as far as the lights blinking in the dash they do the exact same thing as if it were plugged in. Basically what happens is when you start the truck with...

    HELP NEEDED! Did they change the fuel filter style?

    I'm attempting to change the fuel filter on the frame of my 2005 Excursion and notice that the new one has an o-ring and the old one doesn't. It doesn't seem to be fitting as well. Did they change the style of the filter? The new one looks more like the 6.4 filter. I have been to Advanced Auto...
