Autotrans in Powerstroke

Tomorrow I take posession of a new F-250 Powerstroke. Any ideas on how to keep the transmission in the truck. Here all sorts of stories on failures.

Let me quote Tim - "Drive it like you stole it", let it "learn".

Oh , and don't believe all the stories - I am assuming you don't or you would not be buying a new F250.

38000 miles - no tranny probs.
