I have a code 62 problem. I bought a code reader and tested it several times. This truck is a 4wd 3/4 ton single cab. I bought it for $1800 about 3 years ago. I have had loss of over drive (O/D) problems since I bought it. It runs great when I turn O/D off. O/D works but it will go into limp mode about 15 minutes after driving in O/D. So I've read the forum and I dropped the transmission pan. I replaced the solenoid pack and spliced on a new wiring harness. I changed the transmission fluid and put on a new transmission pan gasket.

No change. It runs exactly the same! The Torque Converter(TC) leaks. There is a pan over the TC that is leaking (no change). I'm guessing the TC needs to be replaced. However, I really think this issue is an electrical problem. The O/D light has stopped working and the transmission shifts fine until it runs in O/D for about 15-20 min.

I really enjoy this truck. I've pulled my neighbor's Jeep out of the mud several times and pulled down lots of trees. I've hauled a lot so big loads. It's a beast and can handle a lot of abuse. I really like having this truck as a utility vehicle. However, this transmission issue is driving me nuts as I am not confident to drive long distances. I am considering bringing the truck to a transmission shop, however, I fear it will result in a transmission rebuild. I don't want to spend more on the rebuild than it is worth. The mileage is 160,000.

I'd like to keep the truck and I can do some mechanical repairs. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Check the TPS setting. It could be out of range.

The leak is most likely a failed pump seal. Easy fix, but you have to pull the tranny. You can get a Viton replacement seal at your favorite parts joint.

Speedometer and tachometer need to work perfectly to keep the E4OD happy. Are they?

If you do end up having to replace the transmission or have it rebuilt, don't go for the lowest bidder. Ideally, a ford dealer remanufactured since they are required to include a long list of updates that prevent most of the early failures. If you plan on turbocharging beyond 10PSI of boost, you'll have to up your budget even more (or swap a 5 speed like most guys).
