low reverse hub assembly
I have replaced my low reverse hub assembly 3 times within 50k miles. I am told that only Ford manufactures the part and there is no stronger or aftermarket part. I am also being told, that this part supposedly NEVER breaks! I paid 4k 2 years ago to upgrade and beef up my torque converter and transmission and cannot afford to replace this one part every 7-10 months. I do not tow and do not roll when shifting between drive and reverse. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions??

Since you live in Arizona, you are pretty close to one of the premier 4R100 transmission gurus in the USA. John Woods has a shop in Holtsville, CA. His website (with contact information) is: John Wood Automotive - Ordering a John Wood PowerStroke Transmission
Are you doing the work yourself or hiring out the repairs?
A friend has repeated problems with an E4OD. He repaired it three times, only to have it frap within a few hundred miles. He sold the pickup without figuring it out, but later realized that he had been repeating the same mistake as the previous rebuilder, because he was assembling it exactly the way he found it the first time.

I am hiring it out but throughout my research today, I did find John Woods and he made the modified part for me today and I am having it shipped to Phoenix. It was just frustrating because everyone here in Phoenix said the part never breaks!! Hopefully it never will again because it's way too expensive to pay a shop to do it. Next time it breaks I am going to tow it to his shop or find someone else in phoenix to put his parts in it!!
