Possible transmission issues?
My truck started doing this today while driving home in heavy traffic.

It only did it at really low speeds when I was coasting to a stop. The sound / vibration comes at the end of this video (which is 19 seconds long).
Thoughts?

Digging into the transmission is above my pay grade. Plus, I don't have a shop lift or the time to do this repair. 
I found a video how to do it
, but seems like it would take some time for sure - time I don't have.

A remanufactured transmission can be ordered and installed. Those come with warranties. A lot of transmission shops will try to sell you into letting them rebuild, or buying a transmission from them. Less profitable to simply install a transmission which you ordered yourself.

Have seen this incorrect diagnosis many times. The VCT solenoids and phasers noise is distinctive. The dealership also knows that of it was in fact a timing issue you do the whole job including the oil pump as a "total" rapir and not a bandaid.

Why would you replace the oil pump on a timing issue?

Phasor operation is run by dirty oil pressure thru vct solenoids by command of pcm .Oil pressure determines where cams are supposed to be. Ford oil pump is marginal at best .Leaking tensioners etc they will not be where they are supposed to be .

Why would you not it's part of the repair. The stock oil pump is fatally flawed and caused lots of issues. The pump is to be replaced with a full timing job. It's not optional its required. The phasers also get replaced along with chains, tensioners and guides. You don't just replace VCT solenoids.
