Transmission Went Out For The FOURTH Time...
well, many of you know i am on my 2nd transmission(rebuilt also), after only 4 years and 45,000 miles...
it wont go into reverse and the truck is in "limp mode"
any ideas how to get it fixed? or do i just need to replace it?
what is my transmission called? how much could i get one for used?
i have a 2002 3.0 2wd auto

the f250 is our hunting truck.
not my daily driver.
it is stored 160 miles to the north of me.
the f150 is a 1977 pickup. it gets 7mpg.
it needs about $3k worth of work to make it a dependable daily driver.
the ranger has to get fixed.

My mom's truck is the same year and has the same transmission and her truck is doing great. It only has maybe 27K or 28K miles on it, but she and my dad are very hard on it. I guess your truck is cursed?
Maybe you should consider another truck. A 2WD 4.0L might be better for you since you have two other trucks to take off road. And you can get a Cherokee for less than the cost of a transmission.

I'm pretty sure the 3.0 has the 4R44E behind it, someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Paul just swapped in a beefed up tranny in his (4.0) after spring creek claimed the last one, you might ask him. I think it was in the $2500 range..

had other stuff to pay for(bills and some other crap), so no new tires...
i was thinking i might look into just getting something that is good for driving to work, school, out of town...
a 4.0 2wd...
try and get black...
do some minor things... sunroof, system, clear corners, tint, tonneau, rims...
nothing that could affect it negatively...
but who knows...
right now, the priority is to get this stupid ranger running for me...

i know its his transmission, i just wasn't sure if they had different trannys for the 3.0 (versus what they use for the 4.0). plus he said he hated his 3.0, thts why i asked if it happens to many 3.0's (meaning the tranny in them) or is it just bad luck for him.

you have the 5R44E and in stock form is somewhat soft.
you can save yourself a ton of money on labor if you can remove it yourself and take it to a good trans shop to have it rebuilt by someone who knows how to rebuild these trannies. also make sure you have them use heavy duty fleet parts and put a shift correction package in.
i have the shift correction package in mine and it should make it last a little longer, theres two trick parts to this, the first is a pressure riser , raises line pressure, the second is a thermo by-pass valve, alows fluid flow to the cooler at all times, not just when its hot.
i have the link somewhere for all the parts you need.
