I had the problem of the rear "biting" on tight turns. Changed fluid with 75w-90w Amsoil with friction modifier from ford. There is a Ford update telling to use 75-90 if there is a problem with the clutches "biting". It worked for about 25,000 miles and are starting to "bite" again. I guess I'll change it again when I do the anti-freeze.

No, only about 63K here. I just think some of Ford's intervals are a little too long. Coolant will be a piece of cake compared to the axles but I won't do that until I get closer to 100K.
