ipopeye Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hi All My E4OD transmission is toast @ about 130000 miles. Do I have any options other than same transmission when I replace it? I tow some heavy loads occasionally. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomaro Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I believe you could go with the 4R70W. It was available in 99 and was used across the F series line and in the Lightning. You would have to research it more thoroughly for feasibility and what parts are needed for the swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94bronco Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Just build up the 4R100 ( It is not an E4OD but very similar), When built right they are awesome transmissions and will hold up to all the abuse you can throw at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet, as stated is to get an upgraded one. Google BTS transmissions, there is an HD version from Ford and some local shops will offer upgraded trannies as well. Around here, Certified Transmission offers a "Road Ripper" which is an upgraded model. Whatever you do, be sure to replace the OTA cooler (the new stocker is much larger than the one that came in your truck) and flush the other cooler components. Also be sure that you install an inline filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into the diesel page forums and get a feel for they think also. There are others, like ATS which also has a good rep but if I would have ever had a problem I already figured I would go that route. Had their number programed into my phone and would have made that call in a heartbeat. For 3 grand you never have a tranny problem again. Not sure where your located but he is in Arkansas. Google him. 4 grand and some change and you will never look back. Edited August 22, 2009 by Jeepman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
