Well, I bought the truck without much history on it. I'm in New York, but the truck was from Colorado (rust free). Has a goose-neck hitch and was used to pull a huge horse trailer all over the country. Held four horses plus sleeping chambers. Trans was slipping while the guy was here in New York and I bought it. It also kept going into computer-default shift-mode. The trans light came on and it would start shifting rock-hard. It had 210,000 miles on it then. I pulled it apart and found an aftermarket, dual-clutch HD lockup converter along with some other internal upgrades, so I know it'd been apart before. Other than that, most of the internals looked like new except for a worn pump and bushing. That, however led to a fiasco too long to detail - but nothing I can blame on Ford.
End result is - most of the original slipping was caused by the little variable-resistor switch that's attached to the injection pump. It sends a throttle-position signal for proper trans. shifting. NAPA # 2-29331 I bought a new switch for $40, adjusted it with an ohmeter, and all has been fine since. Shifts great and has never gone into default-shift mode again.
I like the truck. In fact, I was a Ford hater until I started driving it. Engine runs like a clock, just kind of fuel hog. My Dodge, a 92 ex-cab, 4WD with a five-speed manual, is better on hard pulling and on fuel - but rides like a Sherman tank when it's empty. So - I like them both for different reasons. Both very easy to work on compared to anything new.

Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR.
