Aer trainer coming to my dealership

amailloux · November 27, 2013

Hi guys, We have a guy by the name off Lee Stevenson from Aer coming to our dealer for training. We are inviting the fleet customers in town also. So if anyone has questions about the ford reman engines or power train components, I can try to get answers. Just post questions here, and I'll try to get answers.

I had mentioned one question the other morning: "Is there a way for techs to provide feedback on their products?"

I contacted them on a 4l60e reman since they now reman these and our dealer is pushing them. The 4 digit code did not match the box, and the accumulator springs were incorrect for a v6in a half ton. Way harsh 1-2 shift. Their reply was they build 1 unit for numerous models and the Tcm should be able to adapt the shifts. My feedback on the phone was not real good. I also put a complete 6.4 in, that had a rad shortly before, needed an oil cooler in 3000 miles. Surely they use new oil coolers???

The damn paint that makes me about pass out on the first hard accel is a little rediculous also. Makes it hard as hell to remove bolts for its next repair.

1-2 accumulator spring should be the stock purple one and the 1-2 feed hole drilled .083 if I remember correctly. Will provide a nice positive shift without it being ignorant.

You want it to really shine use the stock spring but flip the accumulator piston, and drill the feed hole .125

Make sure you put a good band and servo in it. Lol.

If I remember correctly, it had the 5.3 outer purple and inner very heavy yellow spring. 4.3 uses only the outer large diameter spring. Customer wanted a smooth 1-2 like the old trans had. I took out the inner spring, and the shift adapts came right into line. The software adapts positive at a much higher rate than negative.
