Take it to Ford under warranty and don't worry about the problems they are having with Navistar.... Navistar has nothing to do with the warranty Ford gave you... That's their problem.

the programmer has been off when the tranny starter slipping . the programmer won't have anything to do with it not working will it.

Try unplugging the electric fan..... a bad fan will cause a no crank/no start problem.
