2000 Navigator Transmission problems?
I have heard that the 2000 transmissions always went out around 50k possibly a little later. Something to do with the mechanical diode OWC. Is there any truth to this? Should I stay away from buying a 2000 because of this?

If you're gonna tell people that you were told something-at least get it straight.
Usually they go before 50k miles,but sometimes,they last awhile longer

Well thanks for you reply on here also. I was trying to do some research about the problem you have told me about. All I could find was the following article:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/tsb/full...hp?tsb=01-13-5
Is this the issue you have discussed with me?
If so, it looks like I could check the build date on the vehicle and as long as it was built before 7/27/2000 the vehicle should be fine. Or maybe that is just the builds for the 2001 years. I could not find an article about the 2000's though. I thought maybe there should be some information about this somewhere.
