E4OD Longevity question
Hi, I have a 1993 f250 with an IDI diesel. It also has the e4od transmission. I'm wondering what measures I can take to make this transmission last? Some say to not pull hard Hills in overdrive, others say not to downshift from overdrive to 3rd gear. I haul a small camper and an 18 foot boat with it. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

X2 what timbersteel said. You should add an aftermarket cooler and make sure its a good one, not the kind with just one tube snaking back and forth. I added one to my '91 Bronco about 20 years ago on this same advise and that trans had 250K miles on it and still going when I sold the truck.

All you need to do is shift into D.The trans knows when to shift.
