Hey guys, I have a 2003 Ranger Supercab 4x2 with a 3.0 and a 5R44E. I just got this truck two weeks ago, and it didn't have a single problem. The truck has 43,000 miles on it. Today on the way home the O/D off light came on, and started flashing. I noticed at the next stop that it shifts hard at about 10mph upon acceleration, whatever gear that is. I searched here, and I see a few people have had this problem, and the outlook doesn't look good. I'm quite pissed right now, because the car I traded in for the Ranger threw a transmission code on me and it was gonna be quite costly to fix, so I traded in the car for something I thought would do me good. My last Ranger had 189,000 on the original 4R44E, and the previous owner of that truck pulled horse trailers with it. I really don't understand how this transmission can already be doing this at such low mileage.
Does anybody have any suggestions on what might be wrong? I'm gonna swing by my trusted transmission shop tomorrow and see if they can tell me anything. I need this truck to get to school, so this isn't what I need at all.
