out of curiosity lets say you had access to a Ford mechanic, the Ford scan tool and the correct gauge block to adjust a FIPL the "Ford" way....would you use that method or the volt meter method? For years I towed an enclosed 48` triple axle gooseneck with my `94 dually and never had a problem, then without the trailer one day my trans slipped out of OD into 3rd...I had the trans serviced and a new FILP installed by a guy who did thousand of them and knew EXACTLY how to adjust it. Hooked up the trailer and the first slight incline ( an overpass) at hwy speed the trans kicked out of OD, off the hwy to the closest Ford dealer ( found the "gear man") who looked at me like I was nuts when I explained the above volt meter method.....he used the gauge block and the Ford scan tool. I am starting to have a similar but different problem, I take a route with the trailer that has one long slow incline, just before I crest the top the trans kicks out of OD....unfortunately I don`t take the trailer out much so I don`t encounter the problem very often. Should I be taking it out of OD as I am climbing this long grade or not? thanks in advance!!
