Well, you don't mention if you're actually having any trouble with the trans. Driving with the rod out of adjustment is no big deal. If you feel you are having transmission issues, I'd recommend taking it to a trans shop and having it looked at. Plus you're truck is a bit too old to find any relevant information on, so your best bet is to have either Ford take a look at it or someone who's worked on trucks like yours.
