New Truck!!

Just bought myself a 1997 F-350 CC 7.3L 4x4 with 239K miles. Currently its setup with a K&N CAI, Diamond eye 5" exhaust, and TS Perf. 6 position chip. Bought it to pull a GN trailer to haul my rock crawler. Hope for many years of trouble free miles out of this truck.

not exactly.im not doubting you knew the the truck only came with an E4OD transmission.
(hence the tongue sticking out after joking about it being a zf5.....though probably my bad in assuming you can see emoticons,because they may not show up on mobile devices i guess)

the question is; how do you know this combo only comes with the auto trans,and what part of the combo is it that confirms it? the year,the crew cab,or the 4wd crew cab part? (and or,is it specific to the diesel trucks in this combo.)

It is VERY simple. If there was stick in the truck(which there was not), it would have been stated
