[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 743448, member: 61743"] I've owned mostly Fords for the last 20 years. One thing I'll note is that many Fords since about 1990 or so recommend a tranny fluid flush every 30k. That's not "severe duty", that's everybody, all the time. And a tranny flush is something that most people don't think of at all and don't want to spend the money on. Only lost one tranny ever, that was in a '91 Lincoln Continental (fwd) that my dad bought new, I got it with 99k on it, tranny went out to lunch around 140k and it had a flush every 30k. Sold it with 152k, still looked and ran like new and never an ounce of trouble with the air susepension (now there's a miracle right there). Werd. I think with any vehicle the transmission is on borrowed time after 100k. I'll be away for several days and without internet access, just so you people know I'm not ignoring you. :cool: [/QUOTE]
