worst case scenary it is. remanufacture transmission and trans cooler, 8 hours of labor, $3100 at the ford dealer..... 3 year/100000 miles warranty.
checking for prices now before to give the ggo ahead...
very sad, only 75000 miles.... i love the truck, but i have to say, all my previous (japanese) cars, i sold well over 150000 and the expensive maintenance was timing chain replacement....

DIY
I'd do this. http://www.levelten.com/Level_10_For...o1800-5000.htm Less expensive than the dealer and likely a better product. If you can remove the tranny yourself (not difficult, just need the proper jack/adapter), then you can save some money and be better off in the long run.
available....

I had this same problem on a 2004 F150 with a 4R70W xmission. They are horribly designed and the forward lock ring fails which splits the forward drum. A replacement ring is available to rectify this problem but the xmission will have to be rebuilt due to the clutches not being locked together and severe slipping has occurred. The OE ring has a gap at the ends and the pressure eventually causes it to fail. The replacement ring is an overlapping spiral ring that engages the groove 360 degrees.
