Smart Man, and how many Ford 350's in the group also replaced
or repaired the worthless trany's. Since 98. I can never rely on people to transport bobcats at a moments
notice, because they call back saying their tranny is out. One other note people, quit leaving the button on the shifter in
overdrive when pulling loads. You force the tranny to do things
at it's weakest link. My next one will only have a Allison Automatic period.
The Ford automatics are junk. Stop by any truck tranny shop and
just walk around asking stupid questions to the techs.
Act as if you don't know a thing, but want advice on what not, or
what should. Now you get the real story. Not just opinions.
I used to rebuild automatics for auto applications, and it's not
that difficult. In an hour, one can be ready to reinstall it. I think the main problem with Ford is always trying to use the
smallest components to save a dime here, and there. In my honest opinion, there is no excuse for the crap they throw
at us for a one ton truck. If your a contractor of any type that
pulls Bobcats, there is no good reason why the tranny can't
perform flawless for years on a daily basis. If Allison can do it, then Ford should be one up on it, not the
lowest. If some, all they do is haul groceries, then they have no clue
what we're talking about. You can't compare apples and
bananas I plow snow for a living with a ten ton tandem full of dirt, and
not once has it failed. It's a train on rubber wheels with the
Allison.

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
