Had the same symptoms on my 83 El Camino many years ago. Turned out the torque converter gave up living.

Kitties are the best! He probably thought it was just a big lizard...lol

From 18 to 17.5 in the F150. Not much of a change

Just don't pull them too tight. Snug so the cooler doesn't rattle or move is what your looking for.

I know this isn't much help, but I've got Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo2 tires on my Expedition and love them. They performed very well in the rain a few weeks ago. Just took them offroading last weekend and they were great in that condition too.

The filter for my Expedition came with a gasket, but the stock reusable one was fine, so I kept it on. No leaks. I've been happy with the gray RTV. Used it on a few diff covers without so much as a drop of oil getting out. I assume it would work well in your case. Not to sound condescending...

Sometimes looking down the fill hole isn't definitive to determine if you have sludge. In fact, depending on what is visible, it may tell you nothing. Forget about pulling valave covers, unless you need to or want to spend the money. My suggestion is to run an engine flush/cleaner in the oil...

I swear QSUD smells like donuts. Maybe I can put it on my pancakes?

I used RP in my rear diff on the expedition with no need to add any FM. Kind of expensive, but I wanted the best since I don't plan on ever chnaging it again.

I've been using Hoppe's and Rem Oil for years. Good combo. Thinking about using MMO though. Anybody tried it on their weapons?

My mom used to bowl when I was 9 or 10 (1990) and the bowling alley always had a ton of smokers. I hated being there but on my nights with her, didn't have much of a choice. I always wonder if going there for years had a lasting affect on my health as an adult. I'm an occasional cigar smoker...
