FIRST FORD I HAD TO TOW TO DEALER

[roller]

Well wife called today and said the engine runs fine but the x won't move forward ,so after arriving with my crewcab I could see a hose hanging down in front of right wheel .crawled under and found trans cooler line blown off and checked dip stick and it was empty so I towed to dealer which was 1 mile away and told them they where going to eat the rental being it's only 2 weks old so they did get me a tarus .I also told dealer I wanted trans. filter pulled SO I could look at it myself . well hopefully trans and torque converter are trashed so I won't have problems down the road. Also as a precaution you all may look at those cheap squeeze clamps on cooler mine was on wrong side of nipple so it was doomed from the start.

I feel for you man. These Fords are the pits on transmissions and now tires.
