E40d compatability
Hey everyone, i am looking at a parts truck to use for a front end, engine core and whatever else i find. My truck is a 1996 F250 auto and the donor truck is a 1990 F350 auto.
Do these transmissions interchange from each truck or was there a lot of changes to them along the way? And if there were a lot of changes can i make the 1990 E40d as good as a newer one?

How much of the internals are different? This tranny was rebuilt a year or so ago so i was hoping to have it as a spare for my truck if i need one... probably best to sell it and recover the money i guess.

Different bellhousings between diesel and gas. Also a unique bellhousing on the 460. Gas 4.9 through 5.8 are the same bellhousing, but watch the balance on the flexplate.
Also different tailshafts between 4X4 and 4X2

If the 90-94 transmission was rebuild last year by a good shop, it is very likely (extremely likely actually), that the 95-97 components were installed into it, since they supersede the earlier stuff.
A big giveaway is to look at the front pump on the transmission. There should be a code stamped into it that starts with "RF". An RF-F5 would be the updated '95 pump, if it says RF-F0, it still has the original 1990 pump in it.
