Problems with the automatic transmission

Ford F-150 2007  111600 miles
When the truck warms up and stops, when you try to start it again it takes like 10 seconds before engaging in drive, and in high revolutions there is a thumping between gears. It started happening right after cleaning the radiator.

Electric Fan stuck on High

Ford F-150 2014 STX 5.0 4X4 140000 miles
Fan is on high speed, Truck is not overheating, Fan kicks on while driving, started shortly before I had a leak in the upper radiator hose. Fixed the leak, installed new T-Stat, and refilled with 50/50. Radiator fans will kick on after driving for 10 mins or so and will not stop until I shut the truck off.

Overheats and leaks water

Ford F-150 2008  360000 miles
I have a Ford F150 XL 4WD 5.4L. What happens is that after stoppin for around 10 minutes the water starts leaking, but there is no high temperature indication until it lost around half the water, and then it indicates it's overheating.
Notes:
* I removed the thermostat two monhts ago
* I removed the water pump but it looks in good shape, it might be leaking but very very little, not enough to run out of water in 10 minutes
* It has 200.000 miles
* I can't see any leak in the water hoses
* The readiator doesn't seem clogged
* The water intake is not leaking
* There is no warning light in the dashboard

Check the fan clutch, sometimes they don't work and the engine is not cooled. I have a 2000 model, and when I bought it it was overheating and leaking water the same way as yours

Temp gauge spikes into the red

Ford F-150 2006 Crew cab 150000 miles
When driving the temp gauge will run inthe normal..., range for about20 minutes then it will spike into the red. Check gauge shows up on the dash. Stop and cycle the key and every thing is good. Used o. B. D. Reader. P1299 is the code that comes up. I changed the temp sensor no change. The engine is not hot I can remove the cap on the coolant jug

Your Accord is equipped with a temperature gauge that shows you how hot or cold the engine coolant is. During normal operation, it should stay in the middle of the range. If it moves into the red, though, you need to do something immediately...https://forpc. Onl/snaptube-for-pc/ https://jfi. Cam/jiofilocalhtml/ If there's no steam visible, watch the temperature gauge.

I am having the same issue on my 06 f150 4.2 temp gauge will slowly go into the red and the engine is not hot. Most of the time it will come back down but today it stayed in the red, truck lost power,engine was running rough and engine light came on. Made it home turned it off for a few minutes,gauge was normal and truck ran normal... I am still trying to figure it out...Any help would be appreciated. Therm is new...Maybe using RVT silicon on therm housing could be causing it?????

Only one radiator fan blows w/ AC on. Really loud.

Ford F-150 2013 XLT, 3.5L ecoboost 130000 miles
Both my radiator fans run quietly as normal. Sometimes. Other times, after AC kicks in, one of the fans stops and the other one…Seems to me, spins twice as fast. As if it were doing the work if the one shut down as well as it’s initial load. It whines. Any thoughts? And thank you to whom ever offers anything. Thanks.
