I would like to know if the 4R100 automatic transmission is the same as the
E4OD. How can I find out if the internal parts have the same numbers. Would
like others that have had problems with their E4OD transmissions email me :

Have gone thru 7 transmissions in our 94 crewcab dually and wondering if
others are having these kind of problems in there E4OD.

Subject: FTE 80-96 - performance/mileage improvements, '95 f150 w' 300 I6

I just subscribed to this list, and I'm an e-mail rookie, so I hope you
can
forgive any mistakes I make in this process:

I recently purchased a used '95 F-150 4X4 XLT with a 300 cu. in. I-6,
5-speed manual, manual locking hubs, in incredibly pristine condition.
The
previous owner was/is very meticulous, like me, so I got lucky.

I like to care good care of my stuff, and always like to see my machines
run
as efficiently as possible. I've made no modifications to my truck, yet,

and I'm trying to get educated on what performance
enhancements/accessories,
etc. are available for my truck that will make it run the best (i.e.,
best
mileage, power, reliability, durability, etc.).

I'm not a "4-wheeler fanatic", so-to-speak, but I want this truck to get
me
into AND OUT OF tough spots. The primary use of this truck is as a
hunting
vehicle. I have a canopy ("topper"?) on the long box, which makes the
truck
great for short hunting/camping trips.

I don't really want to spend big bucks for performance mods, but I am
interested in the best ways to get the most from the truck (e.g., less
restrictive intake/exhaust, powerchip, best lubricants and filters in the

engine and drivetrain, etc.)
[Chad D. Cassetty]
I made two mods to mine that had a dramatic improvement. 1. Removed
stock air box (intake) and replaced with K&N FIPK (Fuel Injection
Performance Kit). It is an open-element filter assembly. It's boosted
tourque and throttle response. Part number 57-2503 is what you need. 2.
I replaced the stock ignition system with a Holley HP Annihilator
Ignition box and a Holley LaserShot coil. This made an increase in
milage, throttle response, and idle quality. Both mods were good. You
should consider replacing your exhaust (cat-back, anyway). The more it
breathes, the better it will perform!
What sort of mileage do you think I should expect from this truck,
assuming
no wind, steady speed highway driving)?
[Chad D. Cassetty]
Gee, I can't answer that one. I'm geared pretty low and I run the crap
out of it on the interstate.

One other thing: I seem to be feeling just a bit of quiet grinding on my

shifts from 1st to 2nd gears consistently. My shifts have been careful,
and
I've tried different shifting methods to help the synchros, but I still
get
the very slight grinding. It's as though this is a characteristic of
this
specific transmission model. I talked to a friend who has the same truck

model/year/engine/transmission, and he gets the same thing.
[Chad D. Cassetty]
I have a 5-speed, also. Be forwarned that the 1-2 shift grinding will
only get worse. I had my tranny rebuilt three times for this exact
problem.
Forgive the length of this post, but I thought that I'd try to cover as
much
as I can in one posting. I'd sure appreciate any input/recommendations
that
you folks can give about these things. Thanks.

P.S. Should I, or should I not be including my own e-mail address at the
end
of my postings, so that you can mail me privately, if you wish?
[Chad D. Cassetty]
If you're comfortable giving out your address, go ahead! That's what
makes friends across the 'Net!

This is normal on all of those transmissions, the key is to pull out of
the
gear that you are shifting from wait in the netruel position for a
moment (1-2 seconds) the slowly pull down into the next gear. I have
been shifting this way for a long time, and it seems to keep it from
grinding so much. My dad who owned a construction company for the
longest
time had these problems on all of the Fords. Their solution was the
same
as mine just take a little more time to shift and that should make the
whole thing last longer.

Hey Jim,

AT LEAST YOUR NOT TYPING IN ALL CAPS or all lowercase, even when you use ford or i!
Also, people can see your private e-mail in your post. ("Brewer, Jim"
)

In my oppinion, you usually see a little more power and gas mileage with a decent
header and exauhst system. There seems to be mixed oppinion on chips and high perf.
air filters on the list. Some people have also said they've had good results with
synthetic fluids in the diffs and tranny.

Good luck,
Chad
