ok i have a 94 ford f250 4x4 with the 460 and e4od i lost 4th gear last week and i am going to be buying a 90 4x4 with 460 and a zf5 i was just wondering what i could use off it i know the tranny will bolt up but what about the flywheel? also i have read some stuff about having to switch out computers is that true? im pretty sure i can hadle everything else but im just a little worried about those things. i hope someone can help me out!

 

also will the pedal assy from the 90 bolt into my 94?

 

The ZF 5 speed will bolt up to your truck. If I were you, I would just buy a new flywheel instead of reusing the one off of the donor truck, just my preference though. I would assume that the computer in your truck will throw a Check Engine Light at you because it will wonder where the E4OD has gone. Swapping the computer would fix that however. The pedal assembly should swap over.

 

The transmission, flywheel, clutch, and crossmember will all fit, but the pedal assembly is completely different. You'll need to find a pedal assembly out of a 92-96 truck. The E4OD computer will still run the engine just fine without the E4OD in place, but it's going to throw a fit about the transmission not being hooked up. You're much better off using a computer from a manual transmission or C6 truck. You'll more than likely need to get one for a '92-'96 truck as I would imagine that there are differences in the pinout on the 60 pin connector. The computer from the older truck wouldn't be plug and play.

 

ok sweet well im not worried about anything ill just head down to the junk yard and grab a pedal assembly and well see about a computer. if those are the only two things i cant use i think i got an awesome deal for the truck im only paying 500 for it and it has a rebuilt tranny and t case and a almost new clutch. cant wait to get that demon e4od out. thanks guys you really helped me out!

 

You also need a starter for a flywheel instead of a flexplate.

 

Aren't all the starters the same? Auto vs. standard? I know they are on the diesels...

 

No, they aren't.
Ask me how I know....
