e4od price ???
my brother blowed a trans line on my 90 bronco 351w e4od and kept driving it
.there is a local trans shop her that is highly reptable he wants $1300 to take out rebuild with new converter and put back with warrenty.
the local junkyard has a explorer that was stoled and wrecked coming in this week with a 100,000 miles on it cant remember the model but he said that trans would work he wants $450
a buddy owes me $150 and said he would change it for another $100 and call it even.
my real question is i dont know nothing about fords on how long the trans normally last which way would you go.all comments and pros/cons welcome thanks henry

e4od price ???
Stay away from the E4OD!!! IF you cant help yourself, go for the deal with a warranty, these trannies can be real @#$%&!'s, it helps if it's somebody else's problem!! I wouldnt trust one with 100,000 on it, you're buying trouble, and you'll probably have to rebuild it before too long. Just my opinion. Hope it helps. Good luck.

The early 90s models of E4ODs had problems. A properly rebuilt one with the upgraded parts, especially torque converter and pump can be very reliable. I tow an 8,000# trailer with my 94 460 E4OD and have 25,000miles since rebuild with all the uprated parts.
My E4OD cost about $2,500 for a complete rebuild with all the uprated parts plus some specifically for towing. At $1,300, it seems cheap, make sure you get uprated or current spec parts.
I would not buy a used tranny with 100K on it unless I needed a core for rebuild. 100K is a lot of miles for a tranny. Most will go over that but you are running the clock.
Just my opinion,
