The planetary gear failed while driving. It completely discentrated inside the transmission. A local Ford dealer rebuilt transmission, but now, when the truck is warmed up and the transmission is hot, when you engage reverse it takes off on its own. I have to hold it back with the brake and it eventually stalls. This has happened repeatedly.
