i recently started looking for a early super duty with the 7.3l and was wondering what years ford used the 4r100 transsmision. also looking for opinions on these trucks as to what would be a good truck to start with. the truck will be used mostly for a daily driver and towing. probably not more then 10.000 pounds.
99-03 7.3 powered trucks
and
99-04 5.4/6.8 trucks had the 4R100 trans
in 2003 at some point Ford swapped from 7.3 to the 6.0 and that had a new 5R110 trans. you can find either motor for 2003 models
what do you like? Reg Cab, Ext Cab, Crew Cab, short bed (6.8'), long bed (8'), single rear wheel, dual rear wheel, 2wd, 4x4. lots of options. More doors are better IMO. So I only look at Crew Cab trucks.
i think i;m going for a 4wd crew cab. don't care too much if its short or long bed. i want a manual,but the wife wants a auto. i've spent a lot of time around pg&e (the power company) trucks around here in nor cal and their small diesels run around 15000 pounds day in and day out,so far the best trans have been the 4r100. thats where i'm getting my ideas from
