UPDATE: Ford has installed the Remco transmission pump on my Escape. The work was completed Tuesday Nov 15. the deal we worked out was, Ford paid for and installed the Remco on the Escape. It's my responsibility to get my Motorhome (2002 Monaco Windsor) rewired and have the controls installed. The dealer transmission tech was very knowledgable on the transmission but had never installed a Remco before. He took only 4 hours to install and wire the pump in the Escape. The RV service manager said it would take about 3 hours to install and wire the control in my motorhome. When we tow to Texas from CAlifornia in January, I'll post an update on how well it works.

Is anyone towing a GMC terrain with auto transmission? I would appreciate any adverse information concerning towing the GMC Terrain 4 down. Thanks.

Regarding towing the 2010 Ford Escape. We purchased a new Escape in February of 2010 with the 6 cyl engine. We had our first transmission burnup after about 4000 miles of towing. Ford replaced the transmission and the new transmission failed after about 200 miles of towing. Ford again replaced the transmission and I am currently working with Ford customer service to our problem. The customer service rep suggested installing a REMCO pump and Ford has tacitly recommended this in a TSB. The cost is about $1500-$2000. Has anyone installed a REMCO yet and how has the pump worked. If Ford is recommending the REMCO I feel Ford should pick up the cost because this car is advertised as being towable without any modifications to the drive train. If anyone wants to contact me direct my e-mail is Jerryr_hattox@msn.com .
