Wait a minute. My owners manual & the Ford parts guy said to use "Mercon V" for the 4R100 transmission (2004 F250). Does someone know different?
Found this also:
MERCON® V
Beginning with the 1997 model year, Ford introduced a higher performance level ATF with the MERCON V specification. Many Ford automatic transmissions from 1999 on will require a MERCON V fluid. The most notable exceptions are the E40D, 4R100, and CD4E transmissions, which still specify regular MERCON ATF.

I also changed my tranny fluid on my 2000 F-250 4x4 crew Lariat with 84000 miles. I used Casey's site and followed the instructions to a T. Very well written and easy to follow, Kudos to the original author. That is why FTE is such an awesome site, people helping others and shareing there knowledge.
Thanks

I also went thru the manual and for a 2000 they recommended regular Mercon ATF.
Just my 2 cents
