It could be just the solenoid D but most likely need a new transmission or a rebuild. I had that code and slipping limp mode limited to 40 MPH had to got a new trans. Solenoid D codes and clutch friction codes are usually transmission death codes. I'd recommend Morgan@Midwest Diesel we got a few other vendors out there though. Check for fluid color and smell/level first though just to be sure. You can also drop the pan and look for debris is the truck tuned how many miles?

I just got a ford reman almost 40K and its slipping a little already I run spartan 310 tune as a DD and tow often. If you think your going too add power down the road and tow often go with a transmission that you know that will handle a beating and wont give up that's why I recommended Morgan@Midwest Diesel he builds quality stuff and has excellent warranty and customer service. We also have twisted diesel and a bunch of others too.
