86 F250 Diesel Transmission Problems
hi. i have a 1986 Ford F-250 6.9L Diesel. great truck. ive had it little over two weeks and the transmission went out. i dont much like the 3 spd. im wondering if an aod would bolt right up to my engine or if i will have to do alot of modifications. should i just stick with the three spd and rebuild it or would it be possible to get an aod?

Howdy Y'all,
I have the same question about upgrading my C6 to an AOD to increase my fuel mileage and drop my rpms. Tell me if I'm wrong, but from what I gather from y'all the E4OD is the best way to go as the replacement for the C6. I have a 1986 Ford F250 with the 6.9L Diesel and C6, and a Banks Sidewinder Turbo System from the engine to the tailpipe. What all am I going to have to do to make the switch correctly??? The truck only has 155,000 Original Miles on it, so would you go with a NEW Jasper E4OD or just find a fairly low mileage used one??

I'd go find a Rebuilt E4OD. A stock E4OD won't last very long, heck some didn't even make 100k before needing rebuilt.
You'll just need the tranny, and cross member, and a stand alone computer for it, and your set! I think you'll have to shorten your driveshaft as well, as I remember reading the E4OD is a big heavy long transmission compared to the little C6.
