Mine is going out also, 250K (right on the nose) so I'm not that surprised.
info@burtranch.com if anyone can send another copy of that zip file.

Thanks pickncrew! Dads 97 has 150k on it and blew the front seal out monday. We dropped the pan and the fluid isn't burnt up and the pan was fairly clean. Anybody have an opinion on whether or not to just replace the seal and go with it.

Transmission seals can blow, or fail, for a variety of reasons. If a gasket has aged, and has not been serviced consistently, it can crack or break completely in certain areas, allowing fluid to escape. To worsen the situation of a worn gasket, the torque converter's pressure on the transmission fluid can blow the seals as well, especially if the torque converter is malfunctioning. Also, knowing what your 97 was doing at the time of the blow out..i.e towing, hauling. My opinion, if you have to yank it, rebuild it. Too many variables and other issues can cause the seal to blow.

He had just got done towing/backing a 27' 5th wheel camper into its spot at home when he noticed the puddle under the truck. I was under the opinion to rebuild it also until we saw how clean the pan was. Trans hadn't been serviced in the 50k that dad has owned the truck, but thats my dad.

Hey pickncrew - can you send me the zip file? PM'ed you with my e-mail address.
This is looking like the summer for everyone to rebuild their E4OD's.
Just pulled my engine and tranny out of the '93 F150 today - nursed them both on for way more miles than I thought I'd get.
