Condensation issue - what does it feel like?
Was getting on the highway just now (ok, 15 mins ago) and dropped the hammer to the floor. The revs shot up but I didn't go anywhere. No shudder or CEL, just the feeling like the transmission was "stuck" between gears. Let off the gas and it did something and tried again, same thing. Pulled off the road and got on it 1/2 way and I was able to get on the highway.
Still No CEL or wrench or anything on the dash. I tried nailing it from rolling starts and it's shifting perfectly.
Not sure if this is the condensation issue as it was perfectly smooth? Plan on getting to the dealer either this or next week as 60k is coming up a little too soon.
Nevemind - looks like it was/is the condensation issue - drove all day yesterday in the rain/snowy weather. Time to head to the dealer.

Have 56k on it and it goes to the dealer tomorrow. My guess is since I am owner #2 that no TSB has ever been done. I'll keep everyone updated.

IT you experienced the exact same thing I did. https://www.f150forum.com/f70/what-d...rience-274585/
I had the TSB done and I ended up drilling the weep hole, and removing the blocker plate.

LOL. Funny you mentioned it - I read the thread and saw I posted there. Pretty much exactly what happened to me other than my rainy day was a 5 hour drive (2.5 each direction) yesterday in the snow/rain. All highway and all at part throttle.
We'll see what the dealer says. For all I know, I could have the original IC in the truck and a newer revision will fix it. If not, I'll probably drill the hole too and be done with it.

Heard from the dealer over lunch. They found that my truck had never had any of the condensation TSB's applied and are doing the latest one. So hopefully it will be fixed now as we're very close to the travel trailer that will get pulled by this one.
