ZF Industries
And those of us in the 'Ford' camp know that Dodge hasn't built a good transmission in, well, never... their laundry list of problems is miles long and many more concerning than the issues posted here. As many have said, there are thousands more trucks running perfect ... Top 10 Best-Selling Vehicles for 2011, #1 is F150. In aug 2012 F150 sales = 58,201 ; by comparison Ram sales = 25,215. Not trying to start a flaming war or a Ford vs any other brand pissing match. Just trying to keep the sky is falling, Ford can't build a reliable vehicle comments in perspective.

"It was only a matter of time before word got out to the dealer community. Now that it has, we'll all either just have to live with what we got and drive 'em into the ground or be prepared to take a huge hit on trade."

ZF Industries is now making the transmissions on the Dodge Ram so the tranny problems have been gone for a couple years. ZF is a german company and their technology is leaps and bounds above anyone else. That is why Dodge is now up to 8 speed trannies with the smaller engine.
ZF is the same company that has been making the superduty manual trans' for the better part of 10 years now(until Ford stopped offering a manny-tranny), among other applications.

Sounds more like a way for the Dodge/Fiat dealer to make more money off you. The dealers near me still sell a bunch of Ecoboost trucks. Personally the company I work for will never buy another Dodge for our fleet. Endless checks written for check engine light repairs. Ball joints and brakes.

Your argument just doesn't hold water son! If it were just a few with the problem then there wouldn't be this from my previous post..................

Just traded my 2011 F150 with Ecoboost. 19000 miles. Got 36300 trade and paid 37600 new. Ecoboost added 1200 to book value. Not bad for a two year old truck with 19000 miles. Guess I would have got more than paid new if it was a 5.0?
