I used to joke about Fords, just about anytime I saw a F-series 4WD truck on the road. That because the front wheels were just about always cockeyed. At the time, all my trucks were diesel Dodges and Chevys with solid front axles. I swore I'd never own a Ford truck with the wacky front-end.
But since then, I picked up two Ford F250s. I had too due to the cheap prices. Both extended cab, 4WD, diesels - a 1985 with am IDI 6.9 and C6, and a 1994 with turbo IDI 7.3 and E40D. No crooked wheels on either.
Note that the 1994 had spent its entire life pulling a big fifth-wheel horse-trailer around the country. It had 220,000 miles on it when I got it and now has over 300,000 miles. Front wheels are still vertical and NOT cockeyed. So, I don't know why mine is fine and so many others are not.
My E40D trans went bad shortly after I got it. I rebuilt it with a few upgrades, and now has 80K miles and still works flawlessly. The later E40Ds used with the later "Powerstroke" engines are even more rugged.
If your supplier had to go through four transmissions to find one good one, it's his inventory that is junk - and not the transmission design.
