dsabers Report post Posted June 9, 2024 Has anyone had problems with towing their F150? Returned home from Texas last Sunday to find oil all over the back of my truck and the smell of burnt clutch and ATF. When I went to disconnect it and take it out of neutral tow mode I started the engine and blue smoke came out the exhaust and a loud grinding noise occurred. Had it towed to Ford and they are replacing the engine, transmission and transfer case. Has anyone else experienced this problem before???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted June 9, 2024 Sounds like someone didn't get it set up right before towing. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandyhepburn Report post Posted June 9, 2024 I've seen several reports of Fords jumping out of Tow Mode while being towed - it's usually been traced to the battery dropping below a certain voltage while being towed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsabers Report post Posted June 29, 2024 Ford is still trying to figure it out, apparently the problem started 2 miles from home??? The odd thing is the engine and transmission became so hot that they melted together, with all of the oil everywhere it should have burned to the ground. sandyhepburnI mentioned your comment and it is a possibility that they’re now looking into, thank you.
