    I heard about this really cool club

    Not trying to laugh at your situation, but I only hope at some point during the reverse you started yelling “Wawa wawa wawa!”? Aoi Lord Jesus that video was priceless!!!??☺️

    Ecoboost towing question

    Last thank you. Got it back today. Transmission shop said the fluid was absolutely nasty. He ended up pumping double what he thought he would have to do get all the crap out and start seeing clean. Drove it home and so far not a shudder to be heard. Thanks again for saving me from myself.

    Ecoboost towing question

    @Jameson Clark I seriously cannot thank you enough. I had the drill in hand and for whatever reason decided to double check the YouTube, and also checked here and saw a previous response from you. I read it and thought why not just try to hook it up to the scanner just in case. That advice ended...

    Ecoboost towing question

    Thank you for sharing this! I haven’t found many places online with these symptoms and this diagnosis. I’m hoping mine is the same thing you had. We are towing 7 1/2 hours Saturday so hopefully the problem is solved.

    Ecoboost towing question

    Picked up the boat today to prep for a trip this weekend. I’ll be damned if it didn’t shudder one time in 37 miles. Normally would have been every 10-20 seconds. It was still doing it on the way there, so it isn’t cured, but I feel like we are making progress. Still going to do the transmission...

    Ecoboost towing question

    Thanks guys! I previously looked at the Dr. Tranny stuff, but due to my limited ability in the wrench turning department, I was afraid to try it because it was supposed to be added through the dipstick, which I thought didn’t exist on these engines.

    Ecoboost towing question

    Had it hooked up to a shop scanner. No codes. We drove it around while hooked up, and it shuddered, but no codes. Cousin agreed it sounds like torque converter based on where the noise comes from. Taking it to a transmission shop ASAP for a flush to see if that cures it. Thanks again for all the...

    Ecoboost towing question

    Thanks. Reached out to a cousin who does imports, but has that scanner. Hopefully I can get that hooked up in the next day or two. This shuddering is driving me insane, and the thought of an 8 hour drive feeling a rumble strip every 10–20 seconds doesn’t sound fun.

    Ecoboost towing question

    This was a friend of a friend that did the code check, etc. Not sure if he did more 6 or not. Would you know where I could go to at that done? Auto parts store or does it have to be a dealer?

    Ecoboost towing question

    Took it to a dealer. No codes thrown. They changed the transmission fluid, but the shudder is still there. When I changed the plugs and coils it seemed to go away until I got on the highway. Now, 2 weeks later it is back. Tech said he thought it was a torque converter due to the problem only...

    New PerfectPass product??

    I guess I was thinking more in terms of local sports vs the NFL which is more regulated, but I get your point. I also understand it is legal, and Lord knows I have taken advantage of situations like that as a consumer (currently drinking out of a Sam's Club type of Yeti cup as I type this). I...

    New PerfectPass product??

    I normally stay out of this stuff because the boating side of life is supposed to be fun, and I have enough B.S. in my day job, yet here I go. I agree competition is a good thing, but this feels more like the other team filming your practice to know your plays. Yes you practice in the open and...

    Ecoboost towing question

    It has 88,000 miles. I bought it at 75,000. The shudder has been there for a while, but the light and loss of power towing a couple weeks ago was a first. I will say since I changed the plugs I have picked up almost 3 mpg. I have averaged 19.4 since changing everything out. It is just that...

    Ecoboost towing question

    Thank you so much for your help here. Unfortunately too late on replacing all 6 coils. They were $57/piece on Amazon and I was/am so frustrated I had an F-it moment and just bought all 6. I bought this thing used and didn't have many service records so it was also a lets just start over thing. I...

    Ecoboost towing question

    I did Motorcraft plugs and coils. SP-534 I think the plugs were, all came gapped at .30.

    Ecoboost towing question

    I put new plugs and coils in 2 weeks ago. Right off the bat 90% improvement on the regular shudder, which normally at all speeds 35 and up, but I didn’t get on the highway until last weekend. As soon as I hit 55-60 plus, here we go again. And it’s worse when climbing a grade, even if it’s...

    Ecoboost towing question

    I have read a bunch of these threads. Even found a couple specific to my car who said it worked. I’m about there. If new plugs and coils won’t solve the problem, I’m beginning to think drill it and if it doesn’t fix it I can always seal the hole. The alternative is for a mechanic to continue to...

    Best Boat GPS

    That’s the one. It looks like all the really negative stuff is from people who had older versions and couldn’t transfer to the new platform. I guess if I’m coming in fresh it should be fine. Thanks!

    Ecoboost towing question

    Has the tow mode and I had it engaged. I didn’t lock out any gears and had never heard of doing it when towing until after my problem. Every 10 seconds or so the RPM’s would flutter and the engine would shudder. Gets real old, real fast, but not scary like losing power. The guys on the truck...

    Best Boat GPS

    Is it the “Boating Marine and Lakes” by Navionics? The recent reviews on that are 1 ⭐️ after 1 ⭐️. Is it just the old users who can’t transfer data, or does the current version suck that bad?
