Just went through this same problem starting in early October. I (the shop that did the work) went through 3 flex plates before getting it correct. (Less than 300 miles on each of the replacement flex plates). After consultation with FORD, the shop replaced the flex plate - again - the block that fits to the crankshaft, all of the bolts that hold the flex plate to the crankshaft, the thin plate on the TC side of the flex plate, and the engine spacer block. (the large horseshoe shaped AL block next to the engine).
The mechanic that started the project swears that there were no alignment pins on the trans bell housing, but FORD insisted that there should be. Ford didn't have any, but gave the shop the specs and the shop and had them made locally.
My truck was is a 2000 SD with 108K miles. I bought the truck with 76K miles and know that the transmission hadn't been out in the last 35K miles, before that I can't say. So far, I've got almost 2K miles since the last repair in early December. There was a service bulletin (don't remember the number) that specifies that those parts need to be replaced. At least, in my case, the shop stood the cost of the extra parts and the labor. My original problem was a failed TC. Good Luck.

The total cost was about $1300. I took an option to upgrade to a heavy duty TC. The cost difference was about $200. I chose the option because I was planning to towing 11500 pound travel trailer. Have had no problems since.
Note: that my engine is the 7.3. I believe that this engine was discontinued in the SD models beginning in 2004. Also, note that the shop I used with not a Ford shop.
