4R100

Are all 4R100 trans from a SD diesel the same? My friend has one sitting in his shop and he said i can use that one to get rebuilt and give him the one in my truck so that we can just swap it out in one day.

The 4r100 from a gasser engine has a different tail housing.

Correct. Iirc the differences in the tails have to do with the number of splints on the tcase shaft.

I was told the 4r100 gasser tranny was stronger b/c of the beefier shaft.

The diesel 4R100's have stronger internals compared to the gas 4R100, except for the 4R100's used for the Gen 2 Lightning's.

The Gen 2 Lightnings have the same internals used in the diesel 4R100's.

Interesting info Stewart! Guess that's a mute point for our application since jw and BTS have better options.

Know anything about the rear shafts between the two Trannys??

Nope. It wasn't something we discussed on the Lightning boards I used to be a part of years ago.

The difference is in the bell housing. Diesel uses a different bolt pattern. A gasser tranny will not bolt to a diesel.

All gas and diesel 4R100s use the same tailshaft.

You also have PTO and non PTO versions. Here in AUS they are mainly the PTO version. JW told me you cant put a non PTO version into a PTO truck. Different gears and sensors apparently.

This cover plate indicates PTO version

JW is wrong. You can put a non-PTO trans in a PTO truck. You just won't have the PTO function.
