Yes, 2011 5.0 with 190K miles. Replaced the lead frame myself early last year only for the issue to return 8 months later. Job was pretty easy if you want to give it a try, FordTechMakuloco has a perfect walkthrough video on it.

Put in a new trans, $5500 installed & smooth sailing now. I probably could have price shopped more but I was in a bind with family going ons at the time and needed the truck back asap. 5 year 300k warranty on parts and labor.

Not buying a new or even decent used truck at these prices, I’ll just ride this one til it dies.

This is my thought, too. And I've watched the video you mentioned. That guy is very knowledgeable and has lots of great videos. The work involved just seems a little intimidating to me. I'd likely get it taken apart and then say frick it and ultimately paying much more than it should have cost. I've had several projects end up like that ..hahah
