I would appreciate that if its not too much trouble!
I posted this in the other thread, but in case people end up here from a search or something and don't see it over there, this is to clear up any misinformation:

Setup 1: EARLY BUILD Job1 trucks.
Filter located under the bellhousing. NOT TOILET PAPER STYLE. It is a black steel canister with 4 ATF lines going into it... 2 on each side. Requires special tool to disconnect 2 passenger side lines. Regular wrench for the 2 lines on the other side. Filter costs between $70-150, hard to find. Nothing in the pan but a screen. (Replacement early build external filter is part number FT176 or Ford 7C3Z-7B155-B)
Setup 2: All other trucks
Filter is IN the pan and is a true filter. Not a screen. (Replacement filter is part number FT180 or Ford 8C3Z-7A098-D) Cost, around $25-40.
To determine which type you have, crawl under and look for the black canister under the bellhousing with 4 atf lines. If it is not there, you do not have an external.
If you do not have an external, your transmission pan should have "SERVICE INTERNAL FILTER PER MAINTENANCE GUIDE" stamped on it.
