How to check trans fluid level on Ford Flex (Ep 279) 6T50 6F55 6F35 6T40 

@@mcole442 I hear the non turbo ones are much easier to access.

I agree. This is pretty easy compared to some new ones. Some have to be checked with a special tool that is inserted from the very bottom of the pan. (Yes the bottom!) Like seeing the butt doctor!

trying to come up with some content that is useful to others. I still have not got to the rockers panels, yet.

Great to hear, Patrick! More videos on this SUV to come.

Well for me, now I own one; at least for a few months at least.

@@unclemarksdiyauto Those are always the best videos 🤔 when it’s your own vehicle 😁👍🔧

@@RussShawTV I have been trying to slow down as I record these and make whatever angles and retakes so it can be as good as I am capable of right now. Always trying to be better. Thanks for watching, Russ! Hope you find more great vinyl deals!

@@brandenjohnson2980 Nice! Is yours the twin turbo ECOBOOST?

@@chefruggy8022 This one is the twin turbo model. (ECOBOOST)

Yep is was pretty dirty! I just bought it needing a bunch of major work. Just drove it home & started on the project. (I too would have had it super clean if I was selling it.) I may have even paid a bit more for it too!

Want a cookie?

I don't remember, since I recorded this video 6 months ago. Either coolant hose for rad, or air intake for turbo intercooler.

2011 Flex with Twin turbos! Do you have the twin turbos?

Ah, that is kind of sad to know. I have had this as a project for about a year. Other things keep getting in the way. Hoping to have it on the road in September or so. Have you had many issues?

The 3.5 is a very reliable engine. You shouldn't have to check transmission fluid more than once every 50k or so

You should see what it takes to replace the water pump.

in my 2011 Ford Flex?

Yes ford and GM had a partnership on transmission

@@sciatl2505 Good to know! Probably supplied by someone else to both of them anyway! Do you know which GM vehicles use this transaxle?

@@unclemarksdiyauto most FWD from around 2009 and up with a 6 speed auto they are 6Txx and ford calling them 6Fxx the xx is a number from 30-70 the higher the number the more torque it can take The different from the Ford and GM is ford uses The PCM for controlling the transmission and GM has a TCM computer inside the transmission

@@sciatl2505 Thank you for the great information!

I think all the manufacturers have gone to this and now the new vehicles don’t have a dip stick for the engine either! Dumb for sure!

@@unclemarksdiyauto None the less, I appreciate the vid
