hi yell new here. I got me a problem with my fordn nobody's ever said that before. So trying to get I think an e4od to run in a 1995 f250 original equipped with a 5.8 c6 how ever has the over drive steering column had a 1996 f150 5.8 e4od computers all that my question is the wiring for the 259 in the cab is it compatible with the 96 i have power all over to gel rail to coil to ecu on render all lights on dash I can turn the o d on an off on column switch head lights radio all that but no start can hear fuel pump do i need to change the cab wiring to a 96 with I don't have ummm what yall think any suggestions would be appreciated oh have changed distributor the pcm f6tf12a650 <acronym title="Page Ranking">pr</acronym>. Original wase9af14a624 and had the motor running with this but no drive as you know(e4od) yeah this any input

 

One rambling sentence which is, for some reason, underlined. All I got out of that was the truck had a C6 and you want to install what might be an E4OD. That is a lot of work and there are a couple different ways to do that. Would you start over and explain what is wrong with truck and what you want to do more clearly?

 

Must be a graduate of our higher education system.

 

Hello yes sorry feed up with it and oh yea lots of work so everything basically done except it won't fire and run on 3 destructor all 3 bad umm going to Vagas. The only original part of the wiring is inside the cab was wondering ,as there is no way to download. We'll anything if the 96 had ocb thing inside the cab and the now deleted 95 had one inside engine compartment if this to had to be changed to. To make it run 1st time on this adventure not my Forte ask for help especially in a forum this public clear nuff thxsfor reply

 

Not trying to be a jerk or difficult but I still don’t understand what you are saying.

You’re attending college at Las Vegas? It won’t fire and run on 3 “destructor”? What is that? The truck is a ‘96 F-150 with OBD-II and you ripped out the wiring and installed the wiring for the older OBD-I? That won’t work. There is no way a 1996 m/y truck had a C6 from the factory so how did that transmission get in there?

 

Yeah ok this for the no help and no better than that have a good day if you don't work on vehicles go back to being a teacher dude

I sure would fix your truck back to stock with a working C6 and sell it
Then buy a truck with an overdrive
Way easier and you do not need much proper English
By the time you get a working E4OD in yours with a new processor and all that you will be learning new swear words for sure
Might even blow a gasket and lessen your lifespan
Go with the easy stuff

 

Hard to understand what help you need. Sounds like you have a 1996 f250 what came with a factory equipped c6 and that you are trying to use an e40D from a 1996 f150. Is that right?

 

You are incorrect about the c6 not being an option in 1995.

 

I was a Ford then Chrysler tech for 13 years. If you want help, you need to explain things better. Good luck with whatever it is you’re trying to do.

I thought the OP said he has a 1996 F-150 with a C6. I see now that it is a ‘95 F-250 which did have that option. A ‘95 F-150 would not in ‘95. Something something about a ‘96 F-150 computer which is OBD-II which will not work on an OBD-I truck.

 

manicmechanic007 is right. Wouldn't waste your time with trying to swap an E4OD into a truck that had a C6? The wiring on these trucks are a nightmare to say the least. The C6 is not computer controlled unlike the E4OD. The E4OD has to have a computer to work properly. You're talking about something that'll take months of work to make it work and better off just buying a truck with an E4OD instead of shortening your life span and starving your wallet.

 

We can't understand mushmouth but we are all dicks because we won't help him.

 

It's not because no one won't help him, it's because we can't understand him. Yeah...we're probably all dicks in one way or another but that's almost in every mechanic's personality

We seem to be getting somewhere slowly but if we could understand a little more we could probably already have solved this issue. As far as now from what I can gather he's trying to swap an E4OD from a 96 into a 95 that had a C6.

1. 96 was OBD2 and 95 was OBD1 so the wiring and computer systems are way different

2. The driveline will have to change up along with mounting I'm pretty sure

3. Lots of electronics will be needed to even make this possible

Some may agree, some may not, but either way from many people's views this swap is not worth it in the long run. I'm not saying it's impossible and it's not our truck and our money but a silly idea that is more of a headache than this guy is thinking it will bring to him. Maybe he has to make this work because of a budget? I have no idea but I can say this isn't your typical swap for these trucks. Be a lot easier if it was a 95 E4OD replacing a C6 or even easier swapping a C6 in place of an E4OD. Too many electronics involved in my opinion.

 

And I thought I was the only jerk around here. Since there is such a large club, I too have no idea what was trying to be shared. Who's the club President?

I have a 95 F250 5.8 and I thought the E4OD was the only automatic option.

According to this guy the C6 was an option although I have no idea why. If there was an OD trans available I wouldn't see why Ford would even keep the C6 around. Yet another weird Ford thing many may never understand.
