2007 5.4 Lariat Screw 4x4
37,500 miles
Was traveling up a moderate size hill in N. Texas in cruise control set at 72 mph and when the tranny downshifted to adjust speed, the rpms went up to 5K and so depressed brake to lose cruise. It limped home another 75 miles (almost all the way), but it was slipping bad then lost all gears but third, even reverse. Dealer said it was a total loss, so they put in a new tranny in under warranty and added an exterior in-line filter coming out of cooler mounted up front.
