This past Sunday I picked up a 93 f250 4*4.it looks good runs good with the 460.anyways going home Monday night from work it just about bucked you out of the seat,.best way to descripe it is a new person learning to drive a standard.,but its a auto.I checked fluid it was maybe half quart low and looked smelled pretty clean.where should I start first.I'm no mechanic so ill need lame man's terms.thanks all your help

 

how many miles? and check the sticker on the door and see what the letter or number is listed under trans i would asume from the year it would be a e4od but could be wrong

 

It's got 190,000.e code on door frame.I wasn't expection a show truck but dam 2 days.it does run great no oil leaks.engine and tranny are dry just dirty.

 

Does the OD OFF light on the end of the shifter work when you push the button? Is it flashing? When the computer senses a trans problem, it flashes the light. If the light isn't flashing, but works with the button, that's good. If it doesn't work with the button, it may be broken, or disabled by an unscrupulous seller. Either way, I'd read any trouble codes from the computer...

 

with 190 it may be time for a rebuild

 

I'd suggest pulling codes. Easy and completely free. Try the link below. You will have to look to the Right side of the screen for the "Pulling codes".

This link should take you right to the page you want. http://oldfuelinjection.com/?p=13

 

Agreed, pull the codes. A malfunctioning sensor will cause E4ODs to have a fit.

 

Update...I brought it to a local reputable shop last night.the owner and I took for spin.he's thinking its electrical causing a pump/selinoid to not shift at right time.you put your foot into it it'll go no problems.he's putting on computer to read codes.my fingers are crossed.any othe input/thoughts welcome.

 

The codes could have been done at home with a paper clip and notepad. Anyway, it could be the E4od torque convertor

 

free of charge from shop.

 

What codes came up? Anything concerning the trans?

 

I haven't heard anything yet.I'm going to call him tomarrow at lunch.hopefully nothing major.ill keep you guys posted

 

Update and its good news.got truck back today and i. Was the solinoid pack.yup it cost few bucks but I was thinking it was going to be worse.and according to the ork order he serviced it to.I guess a flush?I didn't realize that till I got home.I asked how it looked guy said super clean,cross the fingers that this is the last hiccup...for long time.thanks guys for your intelligents and responces.

 

I thought it might have something to do with the solenoid for the E4OD. Thanks for updating us, and enjoy your Ford!

 

Now that I'm thinking about it I had a 95 f150 centurion that did same bucking.the tranny finally burned up.on it.this is first 4*4 since mid - late 90s.come on rain.thanks again
