The lead frame of the Ford F is an often overlooked but integral part of its function. Tracing its roots back in the 6R80 Mechatronic assembly, the latest 6R80 lead frame houses several electrical components necessary for the proper functioning of its transmission system. From to , Ford revamped some of its models, starting with the F, to the 6R80 lead frame.

I'm traveling at 70 mph having a pretty good day when my pickup almost comes to a complete stop in heavy traffic. I'm looking in my rear-view mirror as I'm still trying to understand what the heck just happened, and I witness smoking rubber from other vehicles trying their best to get stopped. Fortunately, I was not rear-ended and everyone behind me looked to be okay. I did see several middle fingers fly up as I tried to get to the shoulder. Obviously, there were no brake lights to warn them of my sudden slow down. Later I drove to a dealership to have the codes read.

The recall was motivated by quite a lot of issues with the transmission downshifting and then staying in that gear without shifting higher.

MIL light came on a few months back and speedo went to 0, then MIL went out a few days later and no performance issues so I thought all good.
