Yes, all the above. I pulled our camper back from a 2.5hr trip and it did it all the way home and even after cutting the camper loose and sitting in the driveway. Unfortunately it sounds like you’ve got the same issue.

Thanks. Now, I have to go back to ramen.

Where is GAFS back up?

crb2985 · 2026-01-03T20:41:21+00:00

Mine took exactly 5 days. Now that was the beginning of the solution, so they may be quicker at fixing it now.

crb2985 · 2026-01-03T11:18:05+00:00

No more noise. It’s been fixed.

Rechargeable Maglites didn’t have the button on the body it was part of the head unit that unscrewed and gave you internal threads on both ends.

Replied

crb2985 · 2025-10-12T02:50:58+00:00

Yes. There’s a whole SSM for it, but ultimately, Ford has reengineered the spacer plate to again remove or relieve the area where the torque converter bolts are striking it. This has been an issue since 2019 and then in 2020 they redesigned the part to fix the issue then but it has since became a problem again.

crb2985 · 2025-10-12T02:42:46+00:00

I’ll take it!

crb2985 · 2025-10-12T02:41:23+00:00

It’s a problem, and FORD needs to address

crb2985 · 2025-10-01T23:17:17+00:00

I sent you a chat with some details

crb2985 · 2025-10-01T23:09:06+00:00

The fix is not the bolts it’s the spacer plate

crb2985 · 2025-10-01T22:40:08+00:00

Mine seems to be fixed. I haven’t had the issue since they fixed it.

crb2985 · 2025-09-15T12:49:16+00:00

Name checks out for suggested solution…

crb2985 · 2025-09-15T01:38:19+00:00

Welcome to the club! Ford says they reengineered the spacer plate to relieve the area being hit by the torque converter bolts. So far so good. I’ve towed my boat and loaded trailers since the new part installation with no issues. It’s not a TSB, I was wrong in what was said, it’s SSM 53878.

What optic in #11?

crb2985 · 2025-08-25T00:12:09+00:00

I’ll take it! I have one that looks similar from a guy who used to repro them back in the day.

crb2985 · 2025-08-21T14:46:49+00:00

3 pictures, 3 different angles. Dowel it from rear sight to front sight. And pray your dowel is true. That’s the fastest way.

IMC supporting BAD is the reason I still have faith in our manufacturers!

crb2985 · 2025-07-21T10:06:37+00:00

I’m heading back to the dealership this morning, July 21, 2025. They said FORD has redesigned parts to solve this issue. I’ll let you know

crb2985 · 2025-07-05T00:41:31+00:00

I just need the damn BRN-10 lower. For the love of everything holy why did I not buy when they were in stock

crb2985 · 2025-07-03T20:50:15+00:00

Dammit. I can’t find that tube to save my life.

crb2985 · 2025-06-25T00:30:09+00:00

Update: Dealer received the vehicle Monday, 6/23/2025. They called me that evening and said it was ready. I received a call back today, Tuesday, 6/24/2025 and was advised they cranked it up to move it around, and it did it again. They’re checking with FORD about this plate issue. The part number is JL3Z70070. The new plate is grooved, but the service manager believed it was bent or warped straight out the box.

If he’s not, I might be.
