Question 1

Harsh or erratic shifts on the 10-speed automatic (10R80)

Accepted Answer

Trucks with the 10R80 10-speed automatic (2017+) are known for harsh downshifts, clunky 2-3 and 3-2 shifts and occasional flare between gears. Most cases improve with transmission software updates and an adaptive relearn; some need a valve body replacement.

Question 2

Cam phaser rattle on the 3.5 EcoBoost (2017-2020)

Accepted Answer

The second-generation 3.5 EcoBoost can develop a loud rattle on cold start coming from the cam phasers, sometimes with a check engine light and rough running. Ford issued TSBs to replace the phasers and related timing components.
