Tranny problems
My buddy just called and his truck is having tranny problems.
It starts out just fine. He was hauling a load of lumber, no trailer just in the box. Pulled up to a stop sign and he had to drop it down to 1st to get it to move and shift manually. Next morning it worked fine till it warmed up then same thing. Like it wouldn't shift or was slipping.
Anyway I'm going to look at it this week and wondered what I should check.
He did take it in to check codes and nothing. Also said fluid was full.
Thanks guys.

I had exact same problem with my 1999 F350 that I bought that way.
Cold it shifted fine but once warmed up I had to drop in first to move and shifted manually.
I searched the forums and found that I possibly had the pressure feed bolts came loose problem. Sure enough I pulled valve body and intermediate plate and found 2 feed bolts came loose. After fixing problem trans shifts fine.
I will search for a wright up on it.
Here is a good reading thread on this. Thread 11 by mueckster shows a good pic of feed bolts

My 99 did the same thing. Then it worked fine for two weeks. Then I took the grand kids to lunch and it backed out but know forward. Got it to work in first then nothing. I put in the JW trans. I think now it would be the HD4r100 trans If I did it again or BTS.
