Transmission problems

Hello I have a 99 f350 dually. Trying to figure what trans I have. And if I’m supposed to be running about 2600 rpm at 70 mph.

Automatic would be a 4R100 manual would be a ZF6. RPMs at a given speed would be dependent on what rear is in it but I don't know what gears would yield what RPMs

That is fairly close to stock tire size and 4.88 gearing. Is it a cab and chassis truck? I dont think 4.88 was standard on a 350 with a 7.3, but maybe was an option on the cab and chassis model

not on a f350. Some are standard frame trucks with a dually axle, and some are narrow frame cab and chassis design

The tag on the rear end says 4.10. And it has a dually bed not cab and chassis. And that is an only a 4 speed no over drive. Just trying to figure it out

4th is OD and some duallies were put on chassis trucks and have different frames.

Well, if it has the 4.10 thats labeled on the tag, that rpm at that speed isnt lining up.

How long have you had the truck?

I wonder if it had been re-geared

do you have a blinking od off light on the shift lever?

Anything feel funny driving it?

Can you tell is what size tires are on it?

Does the speedometer seem accurate?

If you have a four speed without overdrive you have some custom transmission that has been fitted. Ford only offered the 4R100 four speed overdrive (four forward ratios, the highest one being 0.71:1 overdrive) or a six speed manual transmission. Those were the only two choices. There were no four speed non overdrive transmissions.
