Was trying to find it on that site earlier but I came up with nothing.
Ahhh you mean these stickers that look intentionally wiped away?
Cruise control no longer available. S mode in the gear selector is nonexistent now. And warning light for pre collision not available anymore.
I don't see how changing the transmission would affect the features you listed as being inoperable except for possibly the Sport mode, but then I'm not a mechanic. You asked for a used transmission and that is what you received, so I'm not understanding the "shady moves" part. I would expect that the transmission type/model would normally be noted on the invoice along with any warranty info. While a new or remanufactured transmission would have been covered by a Ford extended warranty ( 36 months I believe), the used one likely is not.
Hey man you know what I'm not a mechanic myself but I know when my car went in for the repair I had all these options working perfectly fine now that I got the car back they're not there so I have no idea whether they're related to the transmission they used or not but the general manager was all about getting a used transmission he advised against getting a new one because of the cost of it but I advised him that you know instead of wasting money and buying a used one because who knows what problems could arise from a used transmission maybe it's better we just go new so we know there's not going to be any problems whatsoever. But he pushed for used transmission and now I am looking like I got the short end of the stick. Are the issues I'm describing related about the cruise control and the sport mode I don't know but someone has some explaining to do because these are things that aren't working and they were working perfectly fine before so that's why I'm trying to find out what transmission they put on to see if these options that I'm describing are related to the transmission but I can't do that if I don't know the transmission that they put in so I'm not too familiar with the explorers and these newer vehicles how they're built and whatnot I'm old school but I am a Hands-On guy so I can get right down into the mechanical part of it if I have to but as for the technological advances if these issues are attached to the transmission or not I have no clue where do you find that kind of information out well that's kind of why I'm here
Sorry to read about the issues you are having. That's one reason I usually get the Ford ESP. You never know what may happen, especially if you plan to keep a vehicle long-term. You may never need to use it but when you do it helps. Just extra insurance.
If you feel the need to record, or refer to your mechanic as “monkeys” maybe you should find a better mechanic, or even better, learn to fix your own stuff.
I fail to see how a dash cam is going to prove a whole lot, since it’s going on under the car. Dash cam won’t tell where the trans came from.
