Is this to much metal to be on the magnet in the transmission. Especially since its got 85,000 miles on it and its under warranty? e40d in f250 7.3
You don't have to read the history to answer the questions its just background on the truck and why I want your advise.
History I've been getting the dreaded flashing od light. Changed mlps and flps. Cleaned all harness connections and put dielectric grease on them. Still got Flashing od light. Code 62 kept coming up on the scanner and transmission shops around town said I need a torque convert immediately upon hearing code 62 out without even looking at the truck. I was told " I guarantee you that's what it is." This is a transmission that my mechanic bought form a big company and I paid more money for it than it would have cost to get rebuilt around here but they offered me a 3yr 100,000 mile warranty. Local shops would only give me a year. So I took it back to the mechanic who bought it and put it in and he called the tech guys.
They sent him a solenoid pack which he put in yesterday. The truck does run fine now but my mechanic said that there was still something wrong with the transmission for it to have this much metal and it was only a matter of time before it was trash. He showed me the metal and let me take pictures, He's not a transmission specialist and doesn't rebuild them he will simply install what ever transmission you want or replace parts. He said I needed to take the pictures to some of the local transmission shops and get there opinion and advise before I go and call the manufacture next week. If I want to try enforce the warranty. That I needed some certified transmission shops behind me when I ask for a new one with only 3 months left on the warranty.
Seems kind of fishy that 2 other shops said torque converter and codes said torque converter and this guy said solenoid pack. The mechanic said the metal could cause the solenoids from working right and he thought that they were trying to string us along until the warranty ran out.
Sorry for the length.
