ford truck tranny again

I have a 1990 F350 7.3 diesel dually crew cab with a history of tranny troubles. Did put in an extra tranny cooler and thought things were good. The truck is only used during the summer and then lightly. Recently I am using her daily (no towing) and she is starting to 'search' when cruising around 30-35 and around 50-55. At first it seemed that she was just sensitive to any rise in the road, could barely notice any change in RPMS, almost seemed like a throttle problem, but now the problem is rapidly getting worse, does it all the time. Would a tranny flush be of any benefit, hasn't had the miles but has sat a lot.

At least rule out the nylon connectors at throttle body. Cables should be free and look good. It's a dollar's worth of nylon and $50 worth of Tylenol when they screw up! Good luck,

Ok, will check out the cable/connectors. Also have had some suggestions to check out torque converter, also known to fail??

Torque converter lock to make a 1 to 1 ratio. Fluid color can be telling. From the dipstick put some on some white paper - it should look RED. If brown or gray it may have trouble. Changing fluid can help but that's a guess. Good luck, TG
