Reason for update: Remove the vehicle production fix date Model: Ford 2020 F-Super Duty Engine: 6.2L/7.3L Transmission/Transaxle: 10R140 Summary This article supersedes TSB 21-2323 to remove the vehicle production fix date. Issue: Some 2020 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.2L or 7.3L engine and a 10R140 transmission may exhibit an illuminated powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P07F7 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) and a loss of 10th gear. The vehicle may also exhibit harsh engagements and poor shift quality. This may be due to the sleeve in the CDF clutch cylinder shifting axially causing hydraulic circuit leaks. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the CDF clutch cylinder. Action: Follow the Service Procedure to correct the condition on vehicles that meet all of the following criteria: • 2020 F-Super Duty • 6.2/7.3L gas engine • DTC P07F7 stored in the PCM • Loss of 10th gear Parts Service Part Number Quantity Description Unit of Issue Piece Quantity LC3Z-7H351-B W715618-S437 W714824-S442 391558-S102 N605804-S439 W520514-S440 W715131-S442 F81Z-4N272-AA E4HZ-4A254-B N811880-S100 W709771-S440 W710356-S439 W520515-S440 W714717-S439 W714656-S439 N605804-S439 1 CDF Clutch Cylinder 1 1 1 Torque Converter Nuts 4 4 1 Selector Cable Bracket Bolts 4 2 2 Transmission Support Insulator Bolts 1 2 3 Transfer Case To Transmission Bolts 4 11 4 Right And Left Y-pipe To Exhaust Manifold Nuts 1 4 1 Transmission Fluid Cooler Tube Bolt 4 1 1 Front Driveshaft U-joint To Pinion Retaining Strap Bolts 4 4 (4WD Only) 2 Front Driveshaft U-joint To Pinion Retaining Straps (4WD 1 2 Only) 1 Front And Rear Driveshaft & CV Joint Flange Bolts 4 4 2 Transmission Mount Support Isolator Nuts 1 2 1 Crossmember Bracket Bolts 4 4 1 Crossmember Bracket Nuts 4 4 1 Y-pipe To Resonator Bolts (7.3L Only) 4 2 1 Exhaust Hanger Bracket Bolts (7.3L Only) 4 4 1 Transmission Support Insulator Bracket Bolts (2WD Only) 4 4 5/29/23, 9:00 AM 2020 F-250 LC3Z-7153-A 1 Seal Kit 1 1 XT-12-QULV XT-10-QLVC TA-24-B VC-13-G CVC-13-G XL-5-A TA-26 As Needed As Needed As Needed As Needed As Needed As Needed As Needed Motorcraft® MERCON® ULV Automatic Transmission Fluid Motorcraft® MERCON® LV Automatic Transmission (Transfer Case Fluid, 4WD Only) Motorcraft® Thread Sealant with PTFE (4WD Only) Motorcraft® Yellow Concentrated Antifreeze/Coolant (All Markets Except Canada) Motorcraft® Yellow Concentrated Antifreeze/Coolant (Canada Only) Motorcraft® Multi-Purpose Grease Spray Motorcraft® Threadlock 262 Parts Rear Driveshaft Bolts And Straps – Not All Vehicles Will Use All Of The Parts Listed Service Part Number F1HZ-4N272-A E4HZ-4A254-A N811880-S100 BC3Z-4N272-A W500633-S439 Quantity 4 Per Affected Joint 4 Per Affected Joint 1 Per Affected Joint 1 Per Affected Joint 1 Description U-Joint Strap Style Bolts – Refer To The Parts Catalog For The VIN Specific Application U-Joint Strap Style Bolts – Refer To The Parts Catalog For The VIN Specific Application U-Joint Flange Style Bolts – Refer To The Parts Catalog For The VIN Specific Application Driveshaft Center Bearing Bolts – Refer To Parts Catalog For The VIN Specific Application Driveshaft Center Bearing Bolts – Refer To Parts Catalog For The VIN Specific Application Unit of Issue 1 1 4 1 4 Piece Quantity 4 Per Affected Joint 4 Per Affected Joint 4 Per Affected Joint 1 Per Affected Joint 1 Required Per Affected Joint Parts Parts To Inspect And Replace Only If Necessary Service Part Number Quantity Description LC3Z-7J227-A If Needed Transmission Fluid Cooler O-ring LC3Z-7B477-A If Needed C Clutch Pressure Plate LC3Z-7B442-C If Needed C Clutch Separator Plates External Spline (Diesel Only) LC3Z-7B442-D If Needed C Clutch Separator Plates External Spline (Gas Only) LC3Z-7H095-A If Needed C Clutch Friction Plate Internal Spline LC3Z-7H076-A If Needed C Clutch Snap-Ring – Selective (1.5mm) LC3Z-7H076-B If Needed C Clutch Snap-Ring – Selective (1.7mm) LC3Z-7H076-C If Needed C Clutch Snap-Ring – Selective (1.9mm) LC3Z-7H076-D If Needed C Clutch Snap-Ring – Selective (2.1mm) LC3Z-7H076-E If Needed C Clutch Snap-Ring – Selective (2.3mm) LC3Z-7H076-F If Needed C Clutch Snap-Ring – Selective (2.5mm) Quantity refers to the amount of the service part number required to repair the vehicle.
