Jus2shy nailed it. These are the only issues I've had on my 2003 F-350, CPS and wire harnes clip. My transmission is still running fine after 155k miles. I used to pull a 39 foot toy hauler but the stability and braking was not meeting my needs being a single rear wheel version, so I bought a different truck to tow the RV. I still have the F-350 to pull a utility trailer and my farm tractor. Great trucks, I'll have it until death do us part.
