Isn't your F350 having factory transmission cooler?
I was having dilemma about upgrading transmission pan on my 2007 model as at the time when I was trying to change ATF, the bushing holding the plug on the pan start spinning, while the plug not.
Got advice about new pans that hold more ATF, but going synthetic it is not cheap stuff and since the transmission work fine for 150,000 miles, do I want to worry about spending $400-500 for its upgrade now?
So I drop the pan and welded the bushing on original pan.
For differential cover I would not spend extra money before checking the temperatures with infra-red.
New synthetic oils run much cooler than dino oils decade ago so if upgrade is needed, I would rather put my money on better oils.
