Be aware of electrical differences is my understanding, usually this is advised against (97 with 98+) but it's what you got so..

Anyways, I'm in the same process of dealing with a tranny in the 5.0L
 






Thats my understanding and I dont have enough paitence to deal with the electrical. However this may interesting you

They got our trans up on ebay for 599 per, with a 180 or so shipping, im gonna call em tommorrow and get the low down on what the actual rebuild is and find out if its bolt on sensors add fluid and instant joy or what. Their seller ratings seem to be pretty positive
