Is that the New Process/New Venture transmission? I had two NP-435's in F-150's, had problems with synchro's in both, was NOT going to buy another NP. Ford fixed that for me, the ZF-5-47 in my '96 F-250 PSD has been great, 312,000 miles and still shifts like new. Replaced the dual mass clutch around 250,000 and three oil/fluid changes is ALL that's ever been done to it in 24 years. Truck was my daily driver for 9 years, 32,000 to 35,000 miles/year. Was the go-to vehicle when we got BIG snowstorms. I've towed heavy a couple times, even with 3.55 gears can idle away from a stop in 2nd gear. Stock rating of 210-215 hp and I was impressed with the way it ran.
I've seen what some people do to little trucks. One day I was working for my buddy helping harvest potatoes, driving truck from farm to field, load along side Harvester, and return. 3 guys show up with s real nice '73 F-350, combination grain/livestock box & hoist. They load 100 bags of spuds, 100# bags. 10,000# in a truck with maybe 5000# capacity over it's empty weight. I had a 25 mile drive home. I had a rough set of railroad tracks to go over about 6-7 miles from home, then stop sign and right turn. Right after the turn there sits that F-350, left rear wheels broke off flush with the oil seal, full floating rear axle, so THAT took a lot. Brake drum, axle flange and both wheels/tires bolted together missing. 2 of the 3 guys scratching their heads. Down the road almost quarter mile the third guy is rolling the tires back to the truck. A BIG truck you can push the load limit a bit, little trucks, NO. I put 3800# in my '78 F-150 with 9 Inch rear axle. I would NOT do that again, I would NOT put that in my F-250! They make bigger trucks for a reason.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945.
