I would be surprised if you can get it rebuilt or replaced for under $2500 if you are having someone do the work... I have no idea what a rebuild costs on that truck... as for resale a good upgraded transmission WILL definitely add to the resale value.. go over to http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum24/ or go to F150online and ask about transmission recommendations.... you can also probably find a good mechanic on the forums in your area that is willing to do side jobs and save you some cash...
I am guessing the Fisherman is not that mechanically inclined but if you remove the transmission yourself and take it in for a rebuild that can save you lots of cash too...
