Default Lead frame worries

2016 xlt 5.0. 88,000 miles
So I’m going on a family vacation tomorrow around 1000 miles round-trip. I keep thinking about how the vacation will be completely ruined if the lead frame issue happens.
Is there a mileage it happens more often? And how likely is it gonna happen sooner or later ugh. I thought this transmission was pretty bulletproof.

If you change your filter and fluid often enough, it seems you should be ok as you’ll keep removing those contaminants that build up and cause the sensor issues. I did 8qts and a new filter two thousand miles ago at 60k and am going to do the fluid every 30k.

I would flush it before and after the trip, just to be sure. That's a really long trip.

Flush your transmission before and after a 1000 mile trip? What? If you’re having no issues that’s just crazy and a waste of money and time.

2016 5.0 86,000
have done nothing to the transmission... Does this mean it will fall out while driving. 😂
Or engage reverse at 85 mph?
plan on changing fluid soon with an extraction pump and pumping same amount back in.. will do this several times before winter
Anyways filters only clog up when your clutches and components wear beyond use...
