1999 Ford F Super Duty transmission complaints

Luckily no damage or injury, however there is the potential for a serious accident if this continues to occur.no safety defect mentioned.
The problem is a potentially catastrophic one as a single failure of any component from the rear of the transmission to the rear wheels will, when parked, will allow the vehicle to move. The only parking brake provided is a drum brake at the transmission output shaft. When parked beside the road in steep terrain like rocky mtn nat'l park with no guard rail a single failure will likely result in loss of life as well as vehicle. The bolts on my front u-joint have already been found loose. This is unacceptable. All auromobiles and older motorhomes have both cable operated rear parking brakes as well as a transmission lock. Any single failure in either system will still leave the vehicle securely parked. I am not willing to bet my life or my wife's life on not having a single failure. I am seeking modification/replacement of rear calipers to provide redundant parking brake, like most other vehicles.
At 323 miles engine would not shift into higher gears, at 14,182 dealership replaced transmission controller, main control valve body and sylinoid assembly due to engine not shift thru gears, at 34,800 dealership replaced entire transmission because when shifting from park to a gear(drive or reverse) truck would act like it was in neutral when you pressed accelerator.
Clutch/clutch hydraulic intermittent failure. Excessive free travel in clutch pedal and insufficient clutch pedal reserve(clutch begins to engage with pedal nearly bottomed and clutch does not begin to disengage until pedal halfway through full length of travel.) was previously repaired by winter haven ford winter haven, fl. Problem has since reoccured.
I have the triton 5.4 v8 this motor has a internal knock which happen during cold start up, as well as RPM's at the transmission shift. Ford has replaced with a reman, and this motor has same problems. I have been told that this is piston slap against cylinder walls. This concerns me.
