Stranded in Houston
Well, my Ford 6.0 has the dreaded EGR Cooler failure on our trip from Phoenix to Disney World. It's at the dealership now in Houston. Hopefully they can fix it today. If not, anyone want to rent ...

FWIW, the Torqueshift doesn't seem to suffer from the reliability issues that the 6.0 does. I don't think 200K means that your tranny is on it's way out, expecially if it's been maintained.
Thanks for clarifying...most auto transmissions are at increased risk of failure after 200K, not Ford specifically....not that it's gonna fail tomorrow, but OP was concerned that he didn't have any confidence in the truck after two breakdowns. At 200K a refresh of the soft parts in the trans will mean another 200K of trouble-free miles. In other words, why wait for it to fail?
