Ford stopped delivery of Gear Shift Module (GSM)

[PyDust]

Could you post snap shots of the two (multiple) work orders showing which parts were changed out, @mr.Magoo alludes to the possibility of multiple parts under suspicion.

Yes I'll try and reach out to get the work order.

Yes I fixed the title sorry I thought it was a known acronym

Yes it is some what, unless you are very new here...

Only 3 to 4 years late on Fords part to do a quality review. Plus they need to continue to ship and replace until said review and parts redesign is complete. Total lack of any kind of respect to customers. Why leave their expensive truck sitting when you could keep us happier by keeping them on the road and getting an expedited replacement part redesign that works completed and out the door. We all know for less than a hundred bucks they could even print and put in a rotary shift know that would alleviate the problem and make some customers happy anyway.

Another large company that has been tone deaf for years.

If it were me, perfect opportunity to have Ford replace the huge shifter with a rotary one!

Well, no, all I was saying is that I think OP was referring to the computer module, but "everyone" is responding to the thread as if it was the physical shifter and as far as I know they're not the same / a single unit.

The actual shifter has been known to be a problem, and people on the forum have had them replaced because of the yellow wrench. Ford does call the physical shifter the GSM.

Not to split hairs, but I think they actually call the physical shifter an "assembly", hence the confusion, at least on my part.

My point is to determine the specific part(s)a few members have said were swapped, was it two or more unique devices, modules, selectors, fidgets widget's, give it any name you want, I want facts and part numbers, that will end the BS.

Thank you, now to see what all parts were thrown at @NCevGuyF150 truck I'm curious if any other devices were shotgunned to try fixing the problem, or was it multiple of the above GSM's, how many bad units are coming out of the supplier?

Im betting on a shit design from the OEM. Cool idea in theory but terrible execution. A quick search on the ICE gen 14s and some people have had up to 4 GSMs replaced. Like I said, I refuse to fold my shifter because of this reason.
