No issues with my transmission. I think it was more of a problem with earlier production runs, but has been rectified now, like the Tremec output shaft issue.

Also, if your friend plans on modding/tuning, he needs to make damn sure he goes to a good tuner who knows what he's doing. Bad, second rate tunes have been destroying 5.0s. Ford racing has one that increases torque by 60 ft/lbs at 1500 RPM, and preserves the powertrain warranty to 3 years/36K miles. For the record, I've kept mine bone stock, though.
