Reverse kills engine

I'm at a loss. All the fixes I just went through, I still have a little bit of a lurching issue which seems to happen right at the bottom end of almost any gear if I keep the throttle right there. And today I shifted into reverse to back the trailer up and clunk. Engine died. I said wtf to myself, started, reversed, clunk. Engine died.
I said many things in French. Started again, this time it went, but now I'm mad so I put it in crooked, so I pulled forward, put it in reverse again, clunk.
After I finally got the trailer parked, I took off my boots and headed here.

What the heck is going on and are the two things related? And can any of them be the result of aftermarket parts? While I wouldnt think so, its a little too convenient for this to be cropping up after making some repairs and changes.

Your transmission filter may have fallen off. You'll have to remove the trans pan to check. Seen this on a few 7.3s with that symptom.
