Transmission and engine rebuild @ 100K?
Then again ... the 5R110 5-speed computer controlled transmission in our 2005 Ford E450 motorhome (2005 year chassis and coach) failed at around 60,000 miles just as we were leaving for a trip. So bad things can happen.
FWIW, I replaced it with a remanufactured heavy-duty version 5R110 transmission - hoping to prevent this from ever happening again. The remanufactured transmission seems to be smoother and better behaved than the original transmission ever was, for some reason.
So bad things can happen under 100K miles. I have our mechanic always check the hoses and I had them replace the serpentine belt under 60K miles some time ago and I carry a spare just in case.
My biggest concern now is the electric fuel pump - should I have it replaced just in case? :h
