Honestly.......time to stop spending money "guessing" and take it to a reputable trans shop or unfortunately, the stealership.
Not the answer you wished for but, you just can't keep spending money and throwing parts at this hoping to fix it IMHO.

I agree. Could be something silly like a bad connection at the plug on the trans. I wouldn't keep throwing parts at it.

I agree, I would go for the trans shop though. They would have more knowledge and most dealer mechanics ive met are idiots.

When this does happen you will loose 3rd and 4th gears. Thats doesn't mean that is what is wrong with your truck. If the plate is not broken, then I remove the valve body and perform an air check to the clutch packs. If they are not leaking, then I would reommend a valve body assy.

You need to follow this guys advice! having someone say "they don't think" isn't good enough. I proved the dealer wrong more than once on what they thought the problem was and what I knew it was!
