Tmad

My tranny recently started slipping (05 5.4 4x4) a bit on uphills and I've always preferred manual transmissions. I know that the only option would be to use the f250 tranny but I've read that it won't fit.

Lots of talk about this and that but I want to know if anybody has actually done it. I'd much rather pay for a 5 speed and some fab work than a built auto. Thanks
