thanks lazy k;
i'v read that, the unfortuneate part is the more i read, the more i want to ,do- it
granted i'v never done this before, but i'm not working so 2500 is out
i have the time, but funds are low , i'm not trying to make a monster, i'm the guy in the slow lane doing 65( i'm in jersey if you aint doing 85, move over)
there are rebuild kits $179-$189-$239-$599
the tc one of the members here says he has 30 trucks on the road, he got the one off ebay for $179 heavy duty been working fine for him!
i don't haul logs up the rockies, the most i haul is 4 harleys to daytona,
witch one has the bearing,i read about that is an upgrade?

 

A "master kit" is probably what you need (generally under $200). That has all the clutches, steel plates, seals, gaskets, check *****, filter and so on. The $600 and up kits are setup for specialty rebuilds and generally not worth the money in my opinion.

Be warned that a master kit will still not include things like bushings, torrington bearings or other hard parts that may or may not need replacing. Opening it up is unfortunately the only real way to be sure of what's needed although if you're going through it anyway, I'd replace them all.

To make that trans reliable you need to do all the updates to it and the "mods" . It can be a lot of work but it will help it last.E4OD rebuild - tools - Diesel Forum - TheDieselStop.com post # 4 has the details.

 

when you put e4od rebuild ,
in the search box of the computer( not this forum) i have bing
some one has made a pictorial, of a rebuild
,he did a real nice job showing step by step
i'm going to try to print them out, i don't know if i can

 

If it becomes necessary to overhaul your E4OD transmission, you should perform as many updates as possible if it is a pre-1995 unit. E4OD component updates include, as an example, the following items:

Improved (thicker) converter clutch piston (circa 1994), prevents the formation of cracks which relieve fluid pressure from the apply side of the clutch, causing it to slip and even bluing the outside surface of the torque converter in extreme cases. Ensure that your new converter contains an updated OEM or "LuK" brand heavy-duty clutch. This can be difficult, as many torque converter suppliers and remanufacturers may not use this new style of clutch.

Higher displacement front pump (for 1995) provides more fluid capacity for faster engagement of reverse and greater lube flow.

New (for 1994) 4-pinion overdrive planet and input shaft assemblies replace older 3 and 4 pinion units which tend to develop cracks in the carrier under heavy loads.

Center support update kit (for units built from 1989 through part of 1994) replaces wear-prone bushing with a ball bearing and contains a new overdrive stub shaft.

Stronger overdrive clutch cylinder snap ring which will not dislodge.

Revised sun gear and rear case bushings (circa 1992 model year) provide longer wear life and better lubrication.

Four pinion planet carriers (first used in 1992 model year)
