If they are still using the same tranny as they did in my '94 E250 w/351 and
towing package, DO NOT TOW IN OD!!!! You will have a major melt down. For
some reason, towing in OD at any time will cause problems with early
retirement for your tranny later on. Maybe Ford has fixed this by now. My
E250 exhibited probles as early as 20K miles but not enough so that the
dealer could verify it. It finally went completely bad at about 85K
