need a 4r100

Tranny went out torque looks cooked, no temp gauge. Hauled hay out of field. I am in mid western PA. Anyone know who might have a reman on a shelf within couple hrs. Truck is mostly stock. Or a rebuilder without 4 wk wait.

Thanks,
Rfh

There is someone in the Harrisburg area but I don't know their name. Full three year warranty parts and labor.

Check with your Ford dealer.

Go to your Ford dealer and get the HD4R100. It is a heavy duty unit. I have read many horror stories about locally rebuilt 4R100 transmissions. It's not worth the $ savings if your rebuilt Trans fails. I am in need of replacing mine, 8 of the 10 shops I called will not even try to rebuild the 4R100, they all said they will use the HD4R100 from ford and not rebuild it in house. Why I don't know but that has to tell you something.

The hd seems like a good choice for me but dealers quoted me $3782

That's not a bad price.

I had a local guy rebuild one of mine. Cost me $1600 with converter, trans go and some other things. Of course I pulled it and put it in too. Money was a huge issue at the time. He was the only person who took the time to talk to me for more than 2 minutes on the phone. No one else cared. It came with a 1 year unlimited mile warranty. Just saying that if you can find one person who knows what there doing its worth it. The only problem I had was a converter went out and he had me a new one the day after I called him and told him..... Damn shame he's gone now, the community lost one hell of a trans builder...

you could always check craigslist. i know it isn't the best option for trustworthy people but you might find a truck someone is parting out...
i called two dealerships in my area out here in oakland, ca and neither of them ever heard of a HD4R100. i was told they will install the most current transmission that is made. i'm not sure what is meant when they told me that...
i emailed JW today. getting ready to pull the trigger on a new trans myself.
good luck with your search and repairs.
