I've owned a bunch of tow vehicles over the years.... Secret to transmission longevity is change the fluid yearly.. its not a big expense, and is a maintenance item that is often overlooked..

Ford recommends 30K fluid changes( for my vehicle)... I drive around 24K/year... so I'm now in the habit of changing tranny/dif/transfer case fluids every spring solstice.

The trend is to be putting catalytic converters on diesels to stop the pollution.
Again so what? my 03 F250 PSD has a catalytic converter. Not sure how many years prior to the 2003 model year they started equipping these diesel pickem ups with catalytic converters
