WOW, I don't understand either. I know of some tranny problems with the PSD but not anything like you are having. Even towing overloaded and with the OD on, I've never heard of a tranny failing that soon. I think you just had a run of terrible bad luck. I've got 200K on mine and never done anything to the tranny other than service it and I do tow heavy loads through the Rockies from time to time.
I hope you get the problem resolved.

Very interesting. A friend had a F-250 SD 4x4 lemon-lawed because the tranfer case would grind itself to bits every 1000 miles towing a boat. Two different dealers and Ford could not explain why it happened.
