Yeah, the upfitters are relayed and fused. I'd still be worried about a spike in current on the lower rated upfitter circuits. The tricky part here is the stabilizer bar locks without current run to it, so if you pop a fuse halfway up a trail or feature, it could make for a very rough time...

Great work! A safer way to wire it up would undoubtedly be through a relay, directly to the battery, with a dedicated fuse. It’s not clear to me how much current it’ll draw in various climates and conditions. That said, I did not expect it to be this easy to get working!

We are the information. Ford does not disclose anything about mechanical problems until they have a potential fix (TSB) or result in a recall

You told your service department you’re aware of an issue, refusing service for the issue that has a TSB, and will drive it until you damage more components? What makes you think they’ll honor your warranty claim at all after that? They have every right to deny you a transmission replacement now...

you highly underestimate the laziness of some service departments, or the outright disregard for work that does not pay out well enough to be valuable for them

The original version of the synchro was -C. It’s only been revised once so far, to version -D. I doubt there’s enough data to know whether -D has a high enough success rate to be considered a definitive fix or not yet. It’s possible that folks who got the -D synchro replacement had other damage...

No.

There are engineering part numbers and part numbers. -AA is an engineering part number I believe whereas -A or -E is the part number you’d actually order

The cliff notes were on page 185

you got the original transmission part number, not the updated -E revision transmission part number

Hey folks! Wanted to post some images from our evening in Yosemite — we’re up here for the weekend, and decided to put the ARB 47qt fridge to the test, as well as the tailgate table and stove setup. Ignore the mess in the trunk as we were very eager to eat some dinner at that point 😂 Yosemite...

This is a 187 page thread about the TSB, repair, issue symptoms, etc. Yes people have had the TSB work done. People have also had transmissions replaced. We have no definitive information on what works, but we know transmission replacements and TSB work with the original version of these parts...

Synchros are rev -D Transmission assemblies are rev -E

Warranties don’t help much if your dealer refuses to give you a loaner, and parts are back ordered 6 months

It is pretty funny that their last seen (banned) and account created dates line up 😂

Well, hopefully your truck is built

That’s great! And super lucky you didn’t have to wait for the -D synchros on back order like the rest of us.

Probably says more about the hours Ford is paying out for the job. I sincerely doubt the 9.6 or whatever’s listed on the TSB is anywhere close to enough for these techs to take their time and check their work.

This sounds like they broke the cylinder when removing the transmission.

Most of the parts listed are single use bolts and fasteners. The synchros themselves were revised from ending in -C to ending in -D
