I agree with Buzzard - either you've got the worst luck in the world, or there's something wrong.
Did Ford ever give you any reasons for why the trannies were lunching themselves (besides the chip)? Did they pinpoint the failure, or just say "trannie's blown. You need a new one"
I hope you get it figured out- the way I see it, if you haven't modded anything, then you're eligible for the lemon law.

I think I probably have him beat on worst vehicle luck.

It's a 1997 that I bought used. Apparently, the truck is going to need a new engine. They aren't 100% sure what is wrong with it, but they know it's internal, and NO ONE here will work on the engine. Not even the dealership.

There's something fishy goin' on here. A Ford dealership won't work on a Ford truck???? Nobody will work on a Ford truck????
