Good catch on the “ between the 5 and 6. I almost was gonna question that after speaking with Ford but you save me the time. Thanks for the great video and clarification.🙏
You're welcome. Glad it helped! Appreciate the subscription. And yes, it was easier when the dipstick was under the hood for sure! It does help a little when removing transmissions, though!
it's a racket, it's what America is made of, shysters and con men, everything is rigged against the people, fortunately we figure shit out and bypass their game.
Thanks for the helpful tip. Do you just fill it through the dipstick tube? Also how do you get the trans that hot, one hardly ever gets above much 170 in normal driving.
@@BigBensCarsAndCycles Yes I understand about the transfer pump. Do you add fluid through the dipstick hole? Or is there another plug somewhere to add fluid?
Hahah I filled mine to 3-5 on dipstick looking forward to draining some now after finally hitting 3-5😂 shoulda watched whole video smh. Tomorrow me issue now. Try find a smaller fill tube or pull the pan again😅
I need to check mine. Can I throw a ceramic fiber insulation blanket on the cat so I can check this stupid tiny dipstick without burning my dam hand? Any cat issues with throwing the blanket on it for a little bit? Thanks
Ben just put a new trans in my f150. 10r80. I can for the life of me get the trans up to temp. I’ve drove around town, highway, let it idle. Hottest it got was 199. What should I do.
230,000 miles 2021 f350 never have done anything to transmission! Recommend filling up fluid or let it be how it is? Some tech tell me to not even touch it since its been that long lol
@@krazypickle firm shifts are basically characteristic of this transmission. If it is hesitating strongly on that shift, the cdf bushing may have shifted
Using the scan tool verify the transmission fluid temperature is between 96ºC - 101ºC (206ºF - 215ºF). The transmission fluid level must be between 5 and 6 on the transmission fluid level indicator.
@@BigBensCarsAndCycles Many thanks for your attention men !!!! We just check that now and is in between the # 3 and 4 on the dipstick and the transmission temp was like 210. So pretty sure is overfilled. I will keep you updated soon. Blessings and thanks again!!!
How Many Dip Sticks are there for this 10R80 Unit anyway? And it appears as tho the Dealership that replaced my 10R80 in my 2022 F-150 can't read or Follow Simple Instructions, Mine just PUKED It All over My Under Carriage, Tranny Oil Pan, and TAIL GATE through the Over Flow VENT TUBE????? 🤬🤬👎.
Sorry to hear. They probably set it to max when cold. Ulv expands a lot. You should be fine just cleaning it. It's probably at the right level now on its own
@@BigBensCarsAndCycles Thanks BEN, I'am taking it into the Dealer Hopefully NEXT Week for Open Axel Recall. I'am gonna Kinda let them know of my Dissatisfaction with there Procedures, and ask them To CLEAN the Under Side of my TRUCK. Hopefully they don't screw that Up??? Thank's for the Response.
@@BigBensCarsAndCycles Hey Ben. I was "TRYING" To figure out how to actually get my Gauge Cluster on my 2022 F-150 "LOADED" V6 EcoBoost to Display the Tranny ANALOG TEMPERATURE. I found an explanation on a Ford Truck Web Site, and it worked! I think it's a Diagnostic Routine Hidden DEEP inside the Software?? Here is what I did, Hold the "OK" button down on the steering wheel, Start the TRUCK,(Keep holding the "OK" Button down )and Start Clicking the Down arrow Until you see Trans Temp, (mine was displayed in Centigrade). Drive ther Truck and watch the TEMP, It does Work, the Hottest mine got was 99*C which translates to 210.2* F. As I drove the TRUCK on the freeway, and around town for "39" Minutes, that's when it hit the 210.2* Mark, then it dropped to Gradually get Down to 94/95*C. and Hung right there, It was 85* TEMP Outside. After Cycling the KEY/Start Button, the Display goes Back to Normal. NOTE... During this whole Testing Procedure the Regular Gauge NEVER MOVED that I could tell, It was Basically Straight up and Down, Just like it was during the VENTING OF THE TRANNY FLUID ALL OVE MY UNDER CARRIAGE???? And as it has been since I Purchased the Truck Brand New??? WEIRD that the Regular Gauge Basically NEVER even moved a "TICK", If it did I could Not Tell that it had Moved at all??? Anyway, thought you "Might" know of this, If Not, It Does Work "On My Truck" for Testing the TRANNY TEML With an ANALOG Number, OLD SCHOOL for us Old Fart's that Like to See what the Hell is going on TEMP WEISE!!! 😎.......
Geez Ford could you make this any freakin harder! I'm surprised they don't make you do it at night without a flashlight while laying on a fire ant hill. And what's up with the weird numbering/lettering on the dipstick, what happened to just having one range, they can't make a dipstick specific for a $60k truck? Damn engineers!
@davidmurphy9671 The same thing exists for the mustangs with the 10R80. Holly has a third party dipstick you can buy... for mustangs "I talked to a guy that used the B&M 10R80 dipstick on his mustang and he routed the tube/hose over the top of the trans to the driver side of the engine bay, I never thought of doing that" --From SuperDave @ mustang6g
I got 2019 10 speed guessing the same in winter time transmission clunks bangs when you first take off when warms up ok had it at Ford 3 times brought in first time did nothing could be found said a lot of them do that don't know why took back in 2 more times they don't know only thing you here is it is under drive line warranty for 100000 kilometers not impressed anybody run in same problem
I yearn for the days when cars/trucks were user friendly.
Good catch on the “ between the 5 and 6. I almost was gonna question that after speaking with Ford but you save me the time. Thanks for the great video and clarification.🙏
Holy shit 😅 I seen the dipstick with the pan down but didn’t think I was gonna have to fill it underneath 😂
Thanks for the video! It’s a shame the manufacturers have stooped so low as to discontinue under-hood access to dip sticks and filler tubes.

Thanks for the helpful tip. Do you just fill it through the dipstick tube? Also how do you get the trans that hot, one hardly ever gets above much 170 in normal driving.
Hi, you can fill it with a pressure fluid transfer pump. You can power brake it to warm the fluid higher. 185 is good enough
@@BigBensCarsAndCycles Yes I understand about the transfer pump. Do you add fluid through the dipstick hole? Or is there another plug somewhere to add fluid?
@@309gti8 the dipstick hole 👍
excellent video and great detail - thank you have you ever done a F150 trans pan replacement ?/
Yes, I have a video called 10 speed transmission service which shows how
Hahah I filled mine to 3-5 on dipstick looking forward to draining some now after finally hitting 3-5😂 shoulda watched whole video smh. Tomorrow me issue now. Try find a smaller fill tube or pull the pan again😅
@gravemind9793 sorry. I edited the title to try and help now. It's probably not enough to really matter, come to think of it
Thank you for the great video.
I'm glad it was helpful!
Was going to thumb down, but the edit at the end fixed it.. stick with 1-6 needs to be into the 5-6 range for full hott
Fordm just search 10r80 fluid change has a great video also the 3 different stick labels they use l.. which is fuxk8ng absurd

@@TheTechGuider 199 is good enough, don't worry about going to 210. As long as it's 185 or more that'll be ok
Hi! What’s the correct level for 2021 f150 2.7eb with the #1-6 dipstick? I heard they change the fluid level in 2021 compared to 2020, thank you!
I've got it pulled up in the shop manual right now. At 96ºC - 101ºC (206ºF - 215ºF), the level should be between 5 and 6
2020 5.0 F150
How many quarts of ULV with filter change?
Thanks
Let it drain for a couple hours and you should get 9 quarts out
👍🏼 Thank you for the video
That is completely ridiculous. Why wouldn’t they just put a normal dipstick?
They can save 64 cents this way per car
That would be to easy😊
Because that is more weight and will cause you to use another gallon of gas over 1,000,000 miles.
Thank you. Great video.
230,000 miles 2021 f350 never have done anything to transmission! Recommend filling up fluid or let it be how it is? Some tech tell me to not even touch it since its been that long lol
I had a maintenance plan and I thought they did everything turns out they didn’t lol
I'd change the fluid and filter. Never too late.
What can happen if there’s touch fluid
My 2020 F150 began smoking and temp was at 226. Took it to a shop and they told me it was over filled and began leaking.
ive got some rough down shifting in gear 3 and 4, could transmission fluid be the culprit?
@@krazypickle firm shifts are basically characteristic of this transmission. If it is hesitating strongly on that shift, the cdf bushing may have shifted
@@BigBensCarsAndCycles got it, thank you for the reply
You fill it where dip stick comes out I assume have you ever drained it about how much came out four qts?
Pull the pan & filter off, wait a couple of hours, and it should drain out 8-9 quarts
Can you check the fluid while cold?
Hi, it needs to be hot. Mercon ULV expands more than other fluids when hot, so the reading will vary quite a bit cold vs hot
How do you add the trans fluid tho…?
You can buy a cheap fluid transfer pump on amazon. You pump it up to build pressure
What the hell ever happened to things being simple? Just flipping the hood up.
Hi there !!!

Loosen plug before getting hot
Am I the only one who saw this tomfoolery, and (in my mind) saw a little doll pedal a tricycle into frame and pronounce, "I wanna play a game."
As if putting the water pump inside the engine wasn't bad enough.🙄
My temperature never reaches over 200
I would check it at 185 to 195 then, and set it a little low
