Transmission advice needed
Just a little background, my Ex is a 2000 V10 4x4 with 217,000 miles. I've owned it for a little under a year. Very clean truck, and well maintained by previous owner. Now the issue. Starting about a month after I bought it, it would occasionally hesitate to engage drive from park. I checked fluid and it was full and clean. I had a buddy recommended that I check for chafed wires in the steering column which I did and found nothing. It seemed to get better for a while but now it's back. It's doing it more than half the time I put it in drive and sometimes takes 10-15 seconds to engage. So
am I probably looking at a new trans? If so, where is a good place to look for a decent reman that doesn't cost what I paid for the truck? Or, is there anything that can be done to save the old trans? Thanks in advance.

That problem is usually worn out seals in the forward clutch. You'll need to rebuild or replace the trans to fix it. There are a lot of places that you can get that done, I don't have experience with any of them.
