Tone ring seems VERY likely. That was the missing piece in the puzzle for the other gentleman. Not getting the right signals hurts.

I'm going to tow the car back home from Ford. Pull the motor and trans, put the original trigger/tone wheel on and hope that is it. Don't think it can be changed without the whole cradle dropped.

I think you are right, unless you manage to get the combo out the top.

The tone ring is accessible after you pull the flexplate off.

Flexplate Removal

  1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section 100-02 .
  1. Remove the transaxle. For additional information, refer to Section 307-01A .
  1. Remove the 8 bolts and the flexplate.
Installation

  1. NOTE: One of the 8 flexplate holes are offset so the flexplate can only be installed in one position.

    Install the flexplate and the 8 bolts.
    • Tighten in the sequence shown to 80 Nm (59 lb-ft).
  1. Install the transaxle. For additional information, refer to Section 307-01A .
  1. Using the scan tool, perform the Misfire Monitor Neutral Profile Correction procedure, following the on-screen instructions.

Yes I'm gonna drop the cradle back out the bottom since we have a lift. I'll update after switched. This may just be a very time consuming mistake. You live you learn right?

They also reuse the cam and crank sensors and coolant inlet tube from the older 3.5 into the replacement as posted by Ford? I would only want to tear into it or pull the thing once

Im about to start a project just like you did.
I don't want to get into any trouble with it.
Any tips, tricks or advice that would help out?
