Well, I got lucky. I took it to the ford dealer where a friend from f150online works and they found a tsb that pretty much nailed what my truck was doing. They replaced a check ball in the valve body and while in there put in a new filter and fluid. Shifting is back to normal but after all the research I've done I am not sure if I should put the tuner back on. It seems like these tuners are associated in a lot of tranny failures! Anyone think this is valid?? I know I will for sure not use my 89 performance tune until Bill has a chance to look at it and see if there is anything unusual. The ford tech said it was possible the tune attributed to the problem but who knows. I am just glad it was $300 and not $3000. Still I don't want a $400 paperweight. Any thoughts?
