I first had 86 4x4 with a 6.9 that couldn't get out of its own way until I took it in to a IH dealer and had it retuned. It seems that Ford had different tuning specs.
My next 94 4x2 had a turbo 7.3 and the tranny went out at 110,000 mi. You need to do the fluid changes to get the mileage out of the automatic. More frequently it you do considerable towing. If you do need an automatic rebuild DO NOT go to AAMCO!
