The Chinese getrag 7mt in my Badlands makes more noise than a rock crusher when cold. Not happy that I waited almost 2 years and spent north of $50k for something that wakes the neighbors.
Ford, you have to get a handle on this.
My noise started at 400 miles and now have 5,200. Can't say it has gotten much worse, shifts fine, and is silent after warmup. Decided to take it to my dealer now for two reasons. Ford has finally issued a TSB, and last week someone came up to me in the Target parking lot and asked if I knew...
I'm into a 3,000 mile road trip with it and it's running perfect, shifts smooth, and is quiet after the initial warmup. Todays morning was in the 20's and the day was in the mid to upper 30's. Noise was only at initial warm up and the never reappeared all day, even after sitting in the parking...
Looks like I get to join the rumble club. Mine sounds like a rock crusher on cold mornings. Since it's dropped into the 20's at night, it is especially bad. The noise is gone within 1-2 miles and stays gone until another cold soak.
Can make it go away by pushing the clutch or nudging 6th...
Somewhere I saw a product that replaced the side fixed glass with a hatch for accessing the back of the rig.
I neglected to bookmark the thread and now can't find it. Anyone know where it is on the site?
Thanks,

Very pleased with Bud Clary Ford in Longview WA. They placed my order in July 2021 and honored their commitment for MSRP and no ADM when I took delivery last Friday.
Definitely would deal with them again.
Our fleet is a mix of HD diesels, gas pickups, tractors, stationary engines and now a Bronco. We use 100% Walmart lubricants. Conventional and synthetic depending on the manufacturer requirements. Not a single oil related failure, ever. Mileage leader is a 500k mile dodge Cummins.
Was shipped from MAP on 10/1
Arrived at the Port of Portland OR 10/19
According to my dealer trucking the last 46 miles can take anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks.
Nuts!!
