Had to floor my truck today and it was in over drive and it shifted to probably 3rd and revved up to about 3,000 RPM And I was going probably 45 to 50MPH just didn't have any get up and go. It's a 03 5.4 also it slowly climbed to 3,000 RPMS and I had it to the floor for probably 10 seconds

Doesn't it have like 270k miles on it? She's getting tired.

Without hooking up a scanner, I wouldn't waste money throwing parts at it.
