    Need Help Diagnosing 10R60 Transmission Noise / Slippage (occurs weekly - videos captured)

    The best way to confuse a 10R is to start by giving it full send-type throttle, maybe for a pass or whatever, then let off (say you think you saw incoming traffic), and then get back in it when you figure out there is no traffic. The tease blip, and then resume go, will freak it out.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Hell, mine took about 10 seconds once I hit start before they actually started logging (loading services). Then stop logging and sync.

    Window sticker not showing the ST SUV experience

    July build, 2025 ST 4WD, it says it right above the MSRP, bottom middle. But I did get a flyer in the mail afterward advertising it because I had not really paid attention. I am on the waiting list for 2026.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    I logged mine with the knock and reported it in notes. The knock wasn't nasty, only when starting off at the low RPM in 3rd gear. Yes, the 1-2 shift is full send.

    The 10R's get confused now and then, but haven't ever seen them get that confused...

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Depending on throttle usage, you will have more firm shifts in Sport. Likely increased line pressure to reduce heat. It behaves more like a Mustang 10R80 now. I have learned that most of the time I dont need a lot of pedal to get moving, so I don't feel the hard shifts as much. Just getting used...

    Adam has a good post here on CAI's. And yes, I am going to let my local shop do the plugs when I get them lol.

    Headlight

    Too many bad experiences. The last thing I bought like that was the Euro clear tails for my 2021 black mustang, but they were an OEM part.

    I have not seen anything user-related with the tune load. That's weird.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Mine actually were in both Normal and Sport. It's the best Ford transmission I've had yet, in OEM form. The tuning made sport mode do odd things, but it got better over the days. It reminded me of the 10R80 on the Mustang, cold in sport mode.

    I just kept a mental note: take it easy when it's cold.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Yep, you get that package with 4 credits, I think, and you are good. The driver mode tune thing may be more, but I just got the Performance tune and rolled with it. My 2021 GT Premium came with Goodyears, and they sucked! Almost killed me in the rain twice. I went with Conti Extreme Contacts...

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Its way easier than it seems. I have done this stuff plenty of times before, but the RTD4 and App work very well, and Adam is quick. The ONLY thing that sucks is the data logging. You have to set it to log, wait for it to start, and then do the run he needs. It takes way too long for the...

    I'll only ever have a V6 Ecoboost. If they don't have it, then won't buy it.

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Buy the RTD and the credits from ZFG. Once everything arrives, install the app on your phone, create an HP tuners account, and select ZFG as your tuner. Then plug the RTD into your OBD port, sync it with the app, read your stock tune, and upload it. After that, submit a tune request on ZFG’s...

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    Yeah, those first few days in Sport mode were all over the place, but it’s mostly smooth now. That said, about one day out of seven the 10R still seems to have a ‘bad day’—maybe it just hasn’t had its coffee yet. It acted out yesterday a couple of times with a hard shift, today its fine. But...

    ZFG Racing Tune Review

    OK. No I did not get that. What was your build month? Edit: I see 2023 to mid 2025, so maybe I missed that. And yeah, Id just wait to tune on principle until they work that crazy recall out.
