Questions About 2008 Ford E-150’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Ford's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Ford E-150? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your E-150 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your E-150 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my E-150's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2008 E-150’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Ford. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Ford E-150 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Ford E-150 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your E-150 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Who can fix my  Ford E-150 transmission leak? When your E-150 transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Can I still drive my Ford E-150 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your E-150 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
