I don't think they're interchangeable between the diesel and the 6.4. I am not 100% but I think the bellhousing is different? I may be mistaken.
Biggest problem with the 66RFE from my understanding is the valve body, particularly in the gassers.
Then again I took one to over 100k with no issues with the trans. If the previous owner abused it then I can see why it would fail so early.
Regardless if you're out of warranty no reason not to look at an independent transmission shop.
That's the 68RFE with a different bellhousing. ATS will rebuild the 66RFE guts too.
They told me they are out of inventory for swaps, gotta send in your trans for rebuild. Since OP is already down, that's what I suggest he do. He can pick and choose how much upgrading he wants.
At minimum is a new valve body.
