1999 Powerstroke autotrans issues

My f-350 was used heavily as a work truck with the assumption that the trans would fail and I would replace as necessary, often towing 26,000 plus pounds and plowing every winter. That was when business was good and replacement was an option... I am a home builder and replacement is not an option. The truck has been barely used for 2.5 years and now there are trans issues. Sometimes it runs great flowing through the gears well, other times it is approaching full failure where it will only use 1st and 2nd with no reverse. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
-fluid is fresh and not burnt. Changed with a pump-out system.<o></o>
-less than 5000 miles in 3 years.<o></o>
-for years there were periodic quirks such as randomly downshifting at high speeds, and very infrequently overdrive would not work without shifting to neutral and back. I don’t believe related... just odd.<o></o>
-200,000 miles well maintained, overused.<o></o>

What are my options?<o></o>
